With only eight weeks left before thousands of runners flood the streets of Barcelona in red, the crucial training period begins.
The Cursa de Bombers isn’t just any 10K race: its fast course, festive atmosphere, and the drive of the firefighters themselves running with the intervention team make it one of the most anticipated events on the Catalan calendar.

The route: an ideal course for beating your personal best
The certified 10 km circuit stands out as one of the most favorable for achieving a personal best in the Catalan capital:
Start and finish: With the usual starting point at Passeig de Picasso / Estació de França, the red tide sweeps through the city’s most emblematic spots.
Key sections: The downhill along Paralel and the passage through Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes allow you to settle into a steady cruising pace before the final push toward the seafront.
