Carrera Papá Noel Oviedo by Totalenergies 2026

The Carrera Papá Noel Oviedo by TotalEnergies is a short Christmas-season run through Oviedo, featuring participants in Santa Claus costumes and children under 12 in elf costumes. It begins at midday from Plaza de la Escandalera, which also hosts the finish line. The route spans only a few kilometers, making the event suitable for families, friends, children, and casual runners alongside regular participants. The appeal lies in the atmosphere as much as the running: red-and-white Santa suits mingle with green-and-white elf costumes, and Santa is available for children's photos. The race is presented as part of Oviedo's broader sports program, with the city preparing for its role as European Capital of Sport. However, its core identity is straightforward: a low-pressure run transforming central Oviedo into a Christmas running event.
