EDP Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Madrid

The event, classified as a Gold Label Race by the International Athletics Federation, which is the highest level of excellence, is on the same scale as such well known races as those in New York, London or Berlin.   It also forms part of the Rock ‘n' Roll Marathon Series, the world’s biggest running circuit, and there will be live music performances on over 20 stages, a finish line festival, a parallel 10 kilometre race and another half marathon to turn Madrid into a sporting celebration.  In 2021, it will be held later than usual (last Sunday in April) due to COVID: on 26 September, following the recommended health measures.  The races will be spread out so that the 10 k race begins at 7.45am, the marathon at 8.45am and the half-marathon at 11am.

The race boasts one of the most beautiful routes on the international calendar, as departing from Paseo de la Castellana, it allows you to take in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the Cuatro Torres Business Area, Faro de Moncloa, the Casa de Campo, Madrid Río and the Prado Museum, which is located alongside the finishing line  on the Paseo del Prado with Plaza de Cánovas del Castillo. The warmth of the enthusiastic, sport-loving Madrid crowd is the icing on the race's cake.

COVID-19 Measures

The 43rd edition will comply with the prevailing measures recommended by the health authorities to avoid the spread of COVID-19.  The races will be spread out so that the 10 kilometre race will depart at 7.45am, the marathon at 8.45am and the half-marathon at 11am.
