"Vuela" Half Marathon Against Gender Violence (Madrid) 2026

The Carrera Tecnocasa Vuela is a running event with a message: it’s held against gender violence. The 10th edition is on Saturday 28 November 2026 in north-east Madrid, organised by Eventsthinker. It was brought forward a day from Sunday 29 November because of the general election, and existing bibs stay valid. There’s a 5K, a 10K, the half marathon and children’s races (about 300 m). The programme was built around Sunday start times, so check the official site for the Saturday schedule.

Course

Everything starts and finishes on Avenida de las Fuerzas Armadas, next to the Valdebebas Cercanías station, so it’s easy to reach by train. The routes run through the streets of Valdebebas (Hortaleza) and Barajas. The 5K and 10K are fully urban, while the half includes some compacted dirt. The organisers rate the course as moderately hard.

• Time limits: 2 h 30 min for the half, 1 h 30 min for the 10K, 50 min for the 5K.
• Places: 3,000 across all three distances.
• Categories: just senior and veteran (born in or before 1981), with trophies for the top three in each.

Entry

The half-marathon price rose from €17 in March to €25, which applies until entries close on Wednesday 25 November at 21:00 (plus platform fees). Groups, teams and companies can enter together by emailing the organisers.

Bibs from a Tecnocasa office

Bibs aren’t handed out at a runners’ fair. Instead, you collect them from one of four Tecnocasa estate agency offices, chosen when you enter: the pick-up days announced for Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November may change now that Saturday is race day, so check the official site for the updated schedule. Runners who enter before 9 November can instead choose any Tecnocasa office on 23–25 November. The organisers don’t hand out bibs on race day, though you can add an external race-day pickup service when you enter.
