Carrera del Pavo de Novelda

The Carrera del Pavo de Novelda is a Christmas-season road race centered on La Glorieta, a regular starting point for this long-running local event. Children’s races go first in the late afternoon, and the adult main race is a 5 km run. It is built as a popular city race rather than a specialist event, with entries open to runners of all ages and ability levels. The course stays entirely within the urban streets of Novelda, with distances adjusted for each age category. After more than 30 years, it works as both a sports event and a Christmas gathering for the city. Local runners, visiting runners, families, children, and casual participants all fit into the same program, which gives the race its practical, festive feel.
