Carrera Popular del Centenario 2026

The Carrera Popular del Centenario is a 12 km run in Brihuega, Guadalajara province. This event is non-competitive, functioning more as a community gathering than a timed race. The date for the next edition has not yet been confirmed. The race's name references the Argentine Centennial, commemorating 100 years since the May Revolution. This period saw the removal of Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros and the establishment of the First Junta, Argentina's initial national government. The historical context is more extensive than the race details: Argentina was experiencing an export boom driven by meat, leather, wool, and wheat, alongside significant population shifts due to mass immigration from Europe.
