The event, one of the major appointments on the popular and women’s sports calendar, will modify almost every aspect of its itinerary compared to last year. The start will be moved to Bac de Roda, at the intersection with Huelva Street, in the Sant Martí district, while the finish will retain its usual location in the vicinity of the Arc de Triomf.

The race will cover a distance of 7.3 kilometers, although the official regulations describe it as a route of approximately 7.5 kilometers. The organizers have made up to 35,000 bib numbers available to participants.
The Sagrada Família, a major highlight of the new route
The main draw of the new circuit will be the stretch near the Basilica of the Sagrada Família, one of Barcelona’s most recognizable landmarks. The runners will reach this area via Mallorca Street and will continue through the surroundings of Sardenya and València. The route will then proceed through various streets of the city, heading toward the coast and the Sant Martí district, before turning toward the finish area.
The new itinerary will run along Felip II, Mallorca, Sardenya, València, Castillejos, Pamplona, Pallars, Àvila, Ramon Turró and Àlaba streets, to finish at Passeig de Pujades. This represents a substantial shift from the latest editions, allowing participants to discover other spaces in Barcelona and offering them a different urban route.
Start at Bac de Roda and finish near the Arc de Triomf
One of the main novelties will be the relocation of the start to the Bac de Roda area and Huelva Street, in the Sant Martí neighborhood. Participants will be able to access it easily by public transport. The nearest metro station is Bac de Roda, on line L2, which will allow direct access to the areas around the starting point. The Sant Martí station on the same line can also be used.
The finish, on the other hand, will not change from last year. Runners will cross the finish line at the Passeig de Pujades, at its junction with Calle Nàpols, next to the Arc de Triomf.
The post-race services area, including the cloakroom and the activities planned to celebrate the end of the test, will also be kept in this zone.
An edition with up to 35,000 participants
The Carrera de la Mujer will once again turn Barcelona into a vast pink wave. The organization has set a maximum of 35,000 bib numbers for this edition, which is part of the XXII Circuit of the Carrera de la Mujer Central Lechera Asturiana.
The race will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 22 and is open to women aged eight years and older who are duly registered.
