Barcelona Marathon

Event Type Marathon
Date 10 March 2024
Location Barcelona
Registration Fee £26
Fundraising Target £400

Take on the Barcelona Marathon and feel amazing about giving help and hope to people living with dementia. 

The Barcelona Marathon is one of the most popular in Europe. The course takes you through the centre of the city and includes main landmarks such as the Camp Nou (the home of Barcelona FC), Sagrada Familia, the Parc du Cuitdadella and finishing a short distance from La Rambla. 

With very few hills or inclines, the course is very flat and fast, and suits first time runners, or those going for a PB.
