Good to know

On the day

ParkingParla is served by Cercanías trains from Madrid and has local bus networks, so public transport is often easier than driving into the town centre on race day. If you drive, expect street closures and limited parking around the start/finish area. Look for public car parks or parking areas outside the immediate centre and walk to the start. Follow local signs and race-day traffic instructions, and avoid parking on the course route.

Public transportA mile is short but demands speed and pacing. Build a base of easy running, then add interval sessions such as 8 x 200m or 4 x 400m at goal pace with recovery, plus a weekly tempo run. Practise running the first half slightly controlled and finishing hard, because going out too fast is the classic mile mistake. Include drills and strides to improve leg turnover. If you are new to running, combine run/walk sessions and aim to finish comfortably. Taper for a few days before 11 October 2026 so your legs are fresh.

ToiletsThe exact facilities are not listed in the event information. For a one-mile town-centre race, you can usually expect basic race-day services such as portable toilets and possibly a small bag storage area, but these are not guaranteed. Keep valuables with you or have a spectator hold them. Spectators should be able to watch from the town centre, but please follow marshal instructions and stay off the course. Check the official race guide closer to 11 October 2026 for confirmed facilities.

Course markingThe race is a 1-mile road event through Parla's streets, with the start and finish in the town centre. Courses of this type are usually marked with cones, tape, signs, and marshals, and roads are typically closed or controlled for the race. Follow marshal directions at all times, stay within the marked route, and be aware of kerbs, drains, and tight turns. If you see a hazard or another runner in difficulty, tell a marshal.

Before you enter

DeferralsTransfer and deferral policies are event-specific and were not available in the provided information. For a one-mile town-centre race, many organisers allow a name change or transfer during a stated window if the race permits it, but deferrals to a future edition are less common. Contact the organiser as soon as possible if injury or travel prevents you from running. Do not run with someone else's bib unless the organiser has officially approved the transfer, as this can void insurance and medical cover.

Collecting your numberSpecific check-in times were not provided and registration is TBC. Typically for a race like this, bib collection happens on race morning or the day before at a designated point near the start in Parla town centre. Bring a photo ID and your registration confirmation. If you are collecting for someone else, check whether the organiser allows it. Aim to collect your bib at least 45-60 minutes before your wave so you have time for warm-up, toilet queues, and to find the start area.
