November 12, 2026

The charity race will take place this Sunday, November 15, starting at 9:00 a.m. Participants will be able to choose between 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer distances and will run through some of Madrid’s most iconic streets, with the start and finish located near Plaza de Colón.

Madrid is gearing up this Sunday for a new edition of the Ponle Freno race, one of the major sporting and charitable events on Madrid’s calendar. The event, promoted by Atresmedia and the AXA Foundation, will once again bring together thousands of runners with a common goal: to support victims of traffic accidents and contribute to improving their quality of life.

The eighteenth edition will take place on Sunday, 15 November 2026, at 9:00 a.m., with start and finish on Paseo de Recoletos, at the corner of Jorge Juan Street, next to Plaza de Colón.

One of the major novelties of this edition is the route, which will allow participants to pass through some of the most recognizable locations in central Madrid, including Puerta del Sol and its Kilometer Zero.

The runners will be able to choose between two distances:
