PO-308 reorganizada por Media Maratón

Sunday’s Entre Rías Media Maratón is forcing traffic changes on the PO-308 as O Grove and Sanxenxo host a race that organizers say has drawn a record field. The event is scheduled for May 17, 2026, with the half marathon starting at 10:00 a.m. from Praza do Corgo in O Grove and running toward Sanxenxo. The race website says the course crosses points including A Toxa and A Lanzada, placing one of the main coastal roads in the area under traffic management during the morning. Faro de Vigo reported that drivers should expect diversions on the PO-308 while local authorities handle the event. ### When does the road disruption begin? The half marathon starts at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 17, from Praza do Corgo in O Grove, according to the event regulations and the official race site. That timing is the key reason for the morning traffic changes on the PO-308, the coastal road linking much of the route between O Grove and Sanxenxo. (farodevigo.es) Faro de Vigo reported on May 16 that the PO-308 would be reorganized for the race and that traffic would be diverted to alternative roads during the morning. The report said the changes were tied to the passage of runners and to traffic control by local authorities. (farodevigo.es) ### Which race is causing the diversions? The Entre Rías Media Maratón is the main event behind the traffic plan. The race is organized by the municipalities of O Grove and Sanxenxo in collaboration with Nokao, according to the 2026 event regulations. (farodevigo.es) More than 3,000 runners are registered across the day’s two races, Faro de Vigo reported on May 7 after the event presentation in A Toxa. The newspaper said about 30% of entrants were from outside Galicia, making this the largest field so far for the event’s third edition. (entreriasmediamaraton.com) ### What parts of the area does the course cross? The official race website says the half marathon begins in O Grove and finishes in Sanxenxo, passing through locations including the island of A Toxa and the beach area of A Lanzada. That route explains why the PO-308 is directly affected: it is the main coastal corridor serving those points. (farodevigo.es) A March report in Faro de Vigo said the 2026 race would again connect “some of the most emblematic landscapes” on this stretch of the Rías Baixas coast. The paper also said Olympic triathlete Javier Gómez Noya would serve as the event’s padrino, or honorary figure, for this year’s edition. (entreriasmediamaraton.com) ### What should drivers do on Sunday morning? Drivers on the O Grove-Sanxenxo corridor should plan for delays and use alternative routes where possible, according to the local reporting previewing the race-day traffic plan. The disruption is concentrated in the morning, when the half marathon is on the road and traffic controllers are managing crossings and diversions. (farodevigo.es) The event regulations do not set out a public road-by-road diversion guide in the excerpt available online, but they do confirm the race schedule and the municipalities involved. That means motorists should rely on local police directions and municipal traffic management once closures or controlled passages are in effect. This is an inference based on the confirmed race route and the reported PO-308 reorganization. (farodevigo.es) ### Is there another race later in the morning? The 10K begins at 11:30 a.m. near the chapel area of A Lanzada, according to Faro de Vigo and the official regulations. That second start means traffic management may continue beyond the half marathon’s opening phase, especially around A Lanzada and the approach into Sanxenxo. (entreriasmediamaraton.com) Saturday, May 16, also included free children’s races for ages 0 to 13, the regulations say, making the half marathon and 10K the main competitive events on Sunday. ### Where can residents and visitors check the event details? The official Entre Rías race website lists the May 17 schedule, route description and event materials, including the 2026 regulations. (farodevigo.es) Faro de Vigo’s May 7 and May 16 reports also set out the start time, participation figures and the expected impact on the PO-308. Sunday’s next scheduled milestone is the 10K start at 11:30 a.m. near A Lanzada. (entreriasmediamaraton.com) (entreriasmediamaraton.com)
