Entry Form

This is a free event. There are very few races in July and August due to the heat. This is an opportunity for members within and out with the club to get together for a fun run followed by some drinks at a nearby location.

What is it?
Runners are set off in handicapped format, slowest first, fastest last, on a 5K route. First back is our champion!

If you can not run for any reason then we will need some volunteers.

Where is it?
We meet at the Espigo past the W Hotel where previous wacky races have been held

When is it?
The 2025 Summer Evening Wacky Run takes place on Friday 11th July at 8:30pm.

Who runs it?
This event is organised by Alan of PB:Running. PB:Running will also provide the volunteers.

How much is it?
This race is free.

How do I register?
The registration link will be put at the top of the event description when entries are open. Your RSVP to this meetup event doesn't count as your entry.
You need to provide your best xipgroc or strava 10K time otherwise you start with the last group to leave!
Twenty minutes before the start of the race bibs will be distributed for each starting box.

Very important: this is not an official event!
There will be no insurance, medical and / or ambulance services, each runner is responsible for himself. You should only register if you are physically fit and capable to run 5K.
The road is not cut off to traffic: you have to respect the traffic laws, your own safety and that of third parties. This run takes place on a busy summer evening where the beach front is used by many many users.
You must be over 18 to participate.

What is the course?
The route is about 5K (not official)
The start and finish point are the espigo of the W Hotel in Barceloneta.
The route is quite straightforward: 2.5K along the beach of Barceloneta and then back. The turning point is just after hospital del mar, before the nightclubs where volunteers will photograph you so we know everyone turned round at the correct point and so that you get a nice photo of you during the race, don't forget to smile!

What should I bring?
It would be advised to bring along a water bottle which can be left at the start. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear however in our Wacky series we do encourage fancy dress. The summer wack run could be quite sweaty so don't wear to heavy a fancy dress outfit. Clothing layers can be left at the start finish line at your own risk however volunteers will be in the area and its not a renowned area for thefts.
