One Month to Go for the 4th Edition of the 24 Hours of La Tapia

September 17, 2026

What are the 24 Hours of Tapia?

The 24 Hours of Tapia are much more than a sports challenge. For a full day we will continuously traverse the perimeter of the Casa de Campo, the legendary Tapia, taking turns without rest for 24 hours to demonstrate that, when we combine sport and solidarity, we are capable of achieving extraordinary things.

It doesn’t matter if you run a full lap, a few kilometers, or simply come to join us. What counts is being part of this charitable challenge.

Solidarity Edition 2026

This year all proceeds will be allocated to ACIMET, an association that works to improve the quality of life of people affected by mitochondrial diseases and their families.

Every kilometer covered will bring us closer to advancing research, patient care, and the dissemination of awareness about these rare diseases.

Why ACIMET?

Mitochondrial diseases are rare conditions that affect the production of energy within cells, potentially impacting multiple organs and systems.

ACIMET works to: support patients and families, advance research, provide guidance and resources, and raise visibility for these diseases. With this edition, we aim to extend their work even further.

Who are we?

More than ten years ago, an idea arose that moved us from within: to create a space where triathlon would be a synonym for self-improvement and enjoyment.

Our story began at the TRIMAD triathlon store in Madrid. We didn’t only sell specialized gear; we accompanied each person in their dreams. We are a restless people, always seeking new challenges, but with a Club philosophy that is uniquely ours.

Our commitment goes beyond sport. We want to use it as a tool to help those who need it most. From that philosophy, the project 24 Hours of Tapia was born.
