Carrera de la Prensa Málaga

The event is a road running race in Málaga on Sunday 15 November 2026. Expect city streets, road closures, a start/finish area, and a mix of competitive runners in the IX Carrera de la Prensa de Málaga and participants in the V Marcha Solidaria de la Prensa. Arrive early to collect your bib if not collected beforehand, use the toilets and bag drop, and follow announcements for warm-up and start waves. Check the official race guide for the exact meeting point and schedule.

The main race and the solidarity march may start in separate waves or at different times, so listen for announcements and follow the signs. The competitive IX Carrera de la Prensa de Málaga will likely have timing, while the V Marcha Solidaria de la Prensa is usually a non-competitive walk. At the finish, keep moving through the finish chute, return any timing chip if required, and collect water or refreshments. Final start and finish details will be in the official race instructions.

Road races of this type usually have medical staff, ambulances, and first-aid points at the start, finish, and along the course, plus course marshals. If you feel unwell, stop and alert the nearest marshal or medical volunteer. The emergency number in Spain is 112. Write your emergency contact on the back of your bib and carry any personal medication. Follow all instructions from safety personnel.

Málaga is served by Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) and María Zambrano railway station. From the airport, the Cercanías C1 train runs frequently to the city centre. For accommodation, look near the old town, Paseo del Parque, or along the coast within walking distance of the start. Book early, as November is still a popular time in Málaga. Public transport or walking is usually easier than driving on race day.

If you need to stop, move to the side of the course and notify the nearest marshal or medical volunteer. Do not continue if you feel dizzy, chest pain, or severe discomfort. If you drop out, return your timing chip if you were given one and follow instructions for the sweep vehicle or shuttle. Make sure a friend or family member knows your plans. In an emergency, call 112 and give your location using the nearest kilometre marker or street sign.
