Cross Cabo de Palos 2026

Cross Cabo de Palos is a summer evening running event held in Cabo de Palos, on Murcia’s coast. The main activities take place along the Paseo Dimas Ortega. Club Atletismo La Manga organizes the event, with assistance from Cartagena, San Javier, and the regional athletics federation. The primary race is a 6K foot race, limited to 1,200 participants. The program also features youth races for age groups SUB-10 through SUB-14. The course is set along the coast, giving the race a connection to the seafront rather than a contained stadium or city loop. It attracts adult runners, children, families, and local athletics clubs. The event is also part of regional running leagues, including the Carthago Running League, Running Challenge, and La Unión Running League. Entry fees contribute to local associations in the vicinity, fulfilling a local charity purpose alongside its summer sports role.
