The 23rd edition of the Córdoba Trotacalles Night Race is set for its celebration on June 6th. This sporting event, a classic in popular athletics in the province, combines sports practice with the heritage appeal of Córdoba.
The race has expanded its limit to 3,000 participants, including 920 women and around 150 for the youth categories. The ten-kilometer route will start at 10:00 PM from the municipal sports facilities of El Fontanar.
The presentation took place in the Patio de los Naranjos (Courtyard of the Orange Trees), one of the emblematic locations the race will pass through. Registrations close this Wednesday, and the organization thanks the collaboration of the Cabildo-Catedral de Córdoba for allowing passage through this courtyard.
The uniqueness of this race lies in its route through historic sites in Córdoba, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Runners will pass near the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos (Fortress of the Christian Monarchs), the Roman Bridge, the Puerta del Puente (Bridge Gate), and the Torre de la Calahorra (Calahorra Tower).
Bib and runner's bag collection will take place on June 4th and 5th at the La Sierra Shopping Center, in the afternoon, and on June 6th in the morning. For third-party collection, a copy of the ID, proof of payment, and authorization will be required. Clubs must send a participant list before May 20th.
Participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and hydration products. Prizes will be awarded to the overall top finishers (male and female), the top three in each category, the oldest male and female athlete, and the first runner from the Club Trotacalles.
