Cursa de la UAB - La Marató de TV3 2026

The UAB Marathon is a charity run held at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona campus, located near Cerdanyola del Vallès and Bellaterra. It benefits La Marató de TV3 annually, directing funds to the campaign's selected medical cause. This year's focus is on cancer research, public awareness, and improving treatment and diagnosis. A planned mid-December race was rescheduled due to Catalonia implementing a health contingency plan following the detection of African swine fever in wild boars close to the campus. The event is situated around the UAB campus and its adjacent areas, though a specific course map is not provided. The race receives support from UAB, Cerdanyola del Vallès City Council, EMD Bellaterra, the University of Barcelona, and Applus+ Laboratories. The focus on cancer research is underscored by local statistics: in Catalonia, one in two men and one in three women are projected to develop cancer in their lifetime. Efforts continue towards earlier detection, less invasive treatments, and enhanced diagnosis.
