What we’re about
Hi and welcome to the Barcelona Casual Runners group!
We are a bunch of sociable runners of all levels who enjoy running in good company. Chatting is an integral part of all our runs but we also sweat a lot! :-)
Our regular 10K runs are held on Mondays at Montjuïc and Tuesdays at the Ciutadella Park.
Apart from the usual runs, we occasionally organize long runs on weekends and organize around races.
However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't come along if you cannot complete 10K or think you run too slowly. We are more than happy for people to come along and run any distance at any pace. People find fellow runners who share a similar pace, and running with others often results in surprising results.
We do have some regular runners that like to run as far as they can with us then drop off and go, and we have runners that sometimes cut the course to make it shorter. There really is NO pressure whatsoever.
We take a group photo after the run and usually go for a drink. Some come only for the drinks :)
So please, if you're not sure, sign up and come along anyway and try us out! We have not missed a single meetup since the group was founded, come hell or high water.

A fun team relay race in a town easily accessible from Barcelona. We're going to have a fun day of running and partying!
To complete the race we'll form three teams of 6, with each person completing one leg (7kms) of the relay passing the baton (timing chip) on completion of their leg to the next member of their team, until the team completes the full marathon. There is also the option to run an additional solo 7km prior to the start of the relay, let us know on the form below.
We've run the event as a group for a few years now and it's always a great day with lots of support and a little bit of friendly competition, we'll aim to have teams of mixed ability that should be finishing in around the same time. We'll put on some bits to eat and there is butifarra included in the price!
The registration for our teams is open! Please fill in the form to register and guarantee your place:

You can leave your stuff there and we will begin running from outside the bar.A description of the route is below for your information. After the run, we take a group photo and drink and/or eat at the bar.
We will chat a bit before starting to run. The distance is about 10 kilometers (~6 miles). However, there are plenty of opportunities to turn back before and sometimes people run a shorter distance. Each person runs at her/his own pace. Most of the time people are talking/chatting so it's honestly a casual run. Mini groups tend to form according to pace.
Please note people run at their own risk and please if you have any medical condition make sure you let someone know and be sensible, run within your abilities.
And don't forget to check our facebook group for news and activities!
We kick off by running into the Ciutadella Park via the main gate. We then take a right to exit the park and immediately take a left to run alongside the round wall of the zoo (Passeig de Cicumvallacio). We then turn right at Carrer de Ramon Trias Fargas and head towards the beach. We then take a left turn and run along the beach heading northeast. Along the coast, we cross the Passeig Maritim de la Mar Bella for a quick stop at the water fountain and then turn back. The main change on the way back is that we turn right at the tram station along the other wall of the zoo (continuation of Carrer de Wellington) and once we reach the end of the wall, we are back to Passeig Pujades where we will reconvene at the gate of the park for a group photo.
