The Councillor for Equality, Virginia Martín, highlighted that the race is more than a sporting event; it's an opportunity to visibly reject violence against women and remind society of its role in prevention and eradication. She encouraged citizens to participate and make the day a collective demonstration of commitment to equality.
The event, organized with the Municipal Institute of Sports (IMD), will start and finish at Parque Celestino Mutis. It includes a competitive 5-kilometer race and a popular 2.5-kilometer race, both free. The race will take place in Extramuros to highlight this area of the city and bring the November 25th programming to different parts of Cádiz.

Additionally, in-person registrations will be available on November 18 and 19, from 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM, at the Citizen Participation offices located in the Municipal Tourist Office of the Cádiz City Council, on Paseo de Canalejas.
The route will run along the perimeter promenade of the park and Avenida de la Bahía, towards the vicinity of the Castillo de San Lorenzo del Puntal and the Cádiz letters, before returning to the starting point.
The event will also feature complementary activities for various audiences, including a warm-up workshop, an educational children's gymkhana, entertainment, and inflatables, aiming to make the event a space for participation and coexistence centered on equality.
The poster for this edition pays a small tribute to Julio González, acknowledging his involvement and support for the race since its inception.
The race is part of the initiatives for November 25th and emphasizes the need for a collective response and sustained commitment against gender violence. The activity is funded by the State Pact against Gender Violence.
