46a Cursa Popular Ciutat de Badalona

Badalona's 46th Cursa Popular Ciutat de Badalona is now scheduled for Sunday, May 31, 2026, after the city changed the date from an earlier Saturday listing. The race, also known as the Cursa del Dimoni, is organized by the Ajuntament de Badalona as part of the city's Festes de Maig. City event pages now direct runners to the Rambla de Badalona on Sunday morning and say cancellation and refund requests must be sent by email by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 29. Ajuntament de Badalona had previously publicized the event for Saturday, May 30, with afternoon starts and more than 3,000 expected participants. A city news release published earlier in May described the race as one of Badalona's best-known popular sporting events and said organizers expected a record turnout above last year's 3,000 runners. That earlier release also laid out a Saturday timetable for the mini, inclusive, 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer races. (badalona.cat) ### When exactly is the race now? The city's race information page says the new date is Sunday, May 31, 2026. The same page says the event will be held on the Rambla de Badalona and labels the change as a "canvi de data," or date change. A Badalona news listing dated May 19 also says the race "canvia de data" and will take place on Sunday morning. (badalona.cat) Badalona's cultural agenda still shows the event in one place as starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, and Hoy Barcelona also lists the large race for Saturday. The city's dedicated race page is the more recent and more specific source, and it now carries the revised Sunday schedule. ### What races are on the program? (badalona.cat) The Badalona race page says all routes start and finish on the Rambla. It lists a 5-kilometer inclusive and family circuit starting at 9:00 a.m. for participants aged 11 to 14 and adults aged 15 and older, a 10-kilometer circuit at 10:00 a.m., a 1.7-kilometer circuit at 12:00 p.m. for children up to age 10, and a 600-meter inclusive circuit at 12:00 p.m. for participants with physical or intellectual disabilities or reduced mobility. (badalona.cat) The city's earlier May release described a similar structure, though with Saturday evening start times and a slightly different description of the inclusive route. Across both versions, the event is presented as a multi-distance public race designed to accommodate children, adults and runners with disabilities. (badalona.cat) ### How much does it cost to enter? The Badalona registration page for the 10-kilometer race lists a final price of 6 euros. The same registration system offers sign-up categories for the 10K, 5K adults, 5K youth, 1.7K and 600-meter inclusive circuit. Hoy Barcelona also lists the event as starting "desde 6 €," matching the city's registration page. (badalona.cat) That gives runners a consistent public price point even though some listing pages have not yet caught up with the date change. ### What should runners know about access and participation? Badalona's race information says the event is open to everyone and frames the Cursa Popular as a community activity within the Festes de Maig program. (badalona.cat) The page says all circuits are inclusive and that participants with physical or intellectual disabilities may be accompanied if needed. It also says runners should register for the circuit corresponding to their age, though those whose capacities do not match the listed distance may choose the course that best fits them. (hoybarcelona.app) The earlier city release said organizers would provide bag check, toilets, refreshments, medical assistance, information points, a massage area, children's activities, music and a fideuada for participants. Those service details were tied to the original Saturday plan, but they remain part of the city's published description of the event. (badalona.cat) ### Where can runners still verify the latest details? The Ajuntament de Badalona's race information page is the clearest source for the latest schedule because it explicitly announces the date change to Sunday, May 31. The city says cancellation and refund requests must be emailed to planificacio_esportiva@badalona.cat by Friday, May 29, at 11:59 p.m., while registration remains available through the linked Championchip platform.
