Universae Mitja Sant Cugat

The organisers of the Mitja Sant Cugat, one of the oldest races in the city, have created a new and more urban route for the avid runner. This flat course allows participants to explore the historic sites of the city, as well as its parks and flowered roundabouts. Runners will start the race at Pla del Vinyet Avenue and finish in Plaça de la Vila, in front of the Town Hall. Along the way, they will get to pass in front of the Monastery and its bell tower, Santiago Russinyol street and the National Archive of Catalonia. It is expected that around 3,000 runners will join the event and race the three distances of 5k, 10k, and 21k. On the preceding Saturday, children are also invited to take part in Kids Race with 400m to 1km distances.

The Mitja Sant Cugat prioritizes equality and sustainability. Special attention will be paid to people with physical disabilities and to minimising the event's environmental impact. Initiatives such as the use of public transport, electric vehicles, plastic-free refreshment posts, recycled materials, selective recycling and a solidarity action will be implemented to ensure this. With all of these, the event promises to be an extraordinary experience for all!
