It is the race that kicks off the season for Barcelona runners after the summer break. A true classic, it is already approaching its 48th edition; the Cursa de la Merc\u00e8 adds to the traditional 10 km distance an additional 2 km for beginners. The event is scheduled for next Sunday, September 20.<\/p>\n
The Merc\u00e8 Bimbo Global Race 2026 has already surpassed 15,000 participants registered across its three formats. After the Family Race bibs sold out, only a few spots remain for the 10 km event, and registration remains open for the inclusive 2 km race.<\/p>\n
