The purpose of the Cursa de la Dona
The Women’s Race has a sense of solidarity oriented to the fight against breast cancer. Registrations were made via Web and are now closed. The options were to participate individually or in groups of two or three people, depending on the category.
The individual registration fee was 13.60 euros, but there were also group registrations. You can also buy bracelets, scarves and other souvenirs.
If you are one of the participants on the day of the race, you must present the registration confirmation email you received, your ID card or the registration receipt at the time of pick-up. You can carry it printed or in digital PDF format on your phone.
The race is not only held in Barcelona. It is also held in other Spanish cities; in fact, 9 editions have already been held between April and November.
The main Spanish cities have their own Women’s Race: Madrid, Valencia, Vitoria, Gijón, La Coruña, Gran Canaria, Seville, Zaragoza and, of course, Barcelona.
