14th Father Christmas Race

Madrid is once again hosting the fun Christmas race: participants of all ages will run around 5 km through the city centre dressed as Father Christmas. The start and finish are on Paseo de Recoletos, and the route is traditionally filled with the runners' red-and-white costumes and the green-and-white outfits of the young elves.

The city fills with festive energy: laughter, music and twinkling lights create a true sense of Christmas magic. The race is a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends, recharge with energy and sporting enthusiasm, and at the same time open the festive season in the heart of Madrid.
