The Carrera Popular San Martín de Boniches is an 8 km road race held in San Martín de Boniches. It is also known as the Carrera Nocturna, indicating its local identity as a night run, distinct from a large city race format. Registration is straightforward and inexpensive: online sign-ups cost 5€ and conclude three days prior to the event. A limited number of race-day entries are typically available in the town square for 8€.
The race utilizes Dorsal 1 for timing and features mixed overall, junior, senior, veteran, and local categories for both men and women. The 8 km course offers tangible rewards for top finishers: cash prizes are awarded to the leading men and women. A substantial bonus awaits any man finishing under 24 minutes or a woman under 26 minutes. Competitors aiming for a course record should inform organizers during bib collection. Medals are distributed across all age groups, a prize is given for the largest attending club, and all runners receive a commemorative gift.
