Carrera Popular Villa de Alcaudete 2026

The Carrera Popular Villa de Alcaudete is a 6 km road race held annually in Alcaudete de la Jara, a village in Spain's Toledo province. It takes place around the early December holiday period. The town council is the organizer, with Evedeport managing technical direction and timing. It is characterized as a popular, non-competitive race, distinct from championship events. Participants begin and conclude the race in Plaza de Regiones de España, navigating an urban circuit under the supervision of Civil Protection staff. The event also includes separate races for children: 0.5 km for Benjamin runners, 1 km for Alevin, 2 km for Infantil, and 3 km for Cadete. The race's appeal extends to its small-town atmosphere; one participant noted traveling 140 km from Madrid because Alcaudete was near his childhood home, highlighting the event's community spirit.
