Scheduled for November 16 at 9 AM, the event will feature a new, flatter 7.8-kilometer route starting at Avenida Marquès de l’Argentera and ending at Paseo de Pujades, designed to be more accessible for participants. This prominent race champions women’s sports, breast cancer awareness, gender violence prevention, and social equality.
David Escudé, Barcelona’s Sports Councilor, highlighted the race’s role as a celebration of sport and solidarity, emphasizing the promotion of health and well-being for women in the city. The Institut Barcelona Esports (IBE) expanded its commitment through the Mares Escoles program, subsidizing 415 entries for mothers, grandmothers, students, and teachers from seven local schools to boost female participation and foster community sports engagement.
Beyond the race itself, the event maintains a strong charitable focus.

Notably, €90,000 will be donated to the Spanish Association Against Cancer, alongside contributions to Wanawake Mujer, Fundación GEICAM, and Asociación Clara Campoamor, further reinforcing its commitment to women’s health and equality.
