Women’s Race 2025: the pink tide prepares to flood Barcelona and Seville
A circuit across Spain
The Women’s Race is more than a sporting event: it’s a solidarity tour that travels through Spain’s main cities to support breast cancer research and promote women’s sport. The 2025 circuit started in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 23 March and will visit Valencia (30 March), Madrid (11 May), Vitoria–Gasteiz (1 June), Gijón (8 June), A Coruña (28 September) and Zaragoza (19 October), before closing the season in Barcelona (16 November) and Seville (23 November).
In each city thousands of runners wearing the official pink shirt take part in a 7 km course whose aim is to raise funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. The 2024 edition brought together more than 100,000 women across Spain; 2025 aims to surpass that figure thanks to sponsors and volunteers.
The pink tide arrives in Barcelona
The penultimate event of the circuit will take place in Barcelona on 16 November 2025. The start will be next to Estació de França on Avinguda Marquès de l’Argentera, and the course winds past iconic places: along the port via Passeig de Colom and Avinguda Josep Carner; across the bustling Paral·lel before climbing up Ronda Sant Pau and Urgell; along Gran Via turning at Marina past the Glòries area; and finally returning to the finish via Ausiàs March, Passeig de Sant Joan, Av. Vilanova, Passeig de Lluís Companys, Buenaventura Muñoz and Wellington before ending again on the seafront.
Participants are encouraged to arrive by public transport (Arc de Triomf or Barceloneta metro) and access the start via Passeig de Lluís Companys and Passeig Picasso because many streets will be closed to traffic. The organisers provide refreshment points and entertainment along the course to make the race a party from start to finish.
Debut in Seville to close the season
One week later, on 23 November 2025, the Women’s Race will debut in Seville with a 7 km route through the historic centre and along the Guadalquivir. The Andalusian capital will welcome the pink tide for the first time and promises a unique atmosphere with performances, family activities and awareness-raising workshops.
Much more than running
Every entry includes the official T-shirt and a solidarity bib; part of the fee goes to research projects and support programmes for breast cancer patients. The event also features a sports fair with nutrition stands, gear and talks, as well as the Mini Women’s Race for children, which is non‑competitive.
How to join the cause
- Registration: places usually sell out weeks in advance; check the official Women’s Race website for availability in your city.
- Preparation: with a distance of 7 km, the race is accessible to most fitness levels. You can alternate running and walking – the important thing is to take part.
- Solidarity: encourage friends, family and colleagues to sign up. The more of us there are, the bigger the donation and the greater the impact.
The Women’s Race is a tribute to courage and solidarity. Wearing pink and running through the streets of Barcelona or Seville with thousands of women creates a unique energy. Join the pink tide and run for everyone!
