Held annually since 2013, Las Murallas de Pamplona offers one of the most scenic and historically immersive race experiences in Spain, turning the ancient walls and bastions of Pamplona into a glowing night course. Runners can choose from several distances: the Pirata (children’s run), Fortín (5.5 km), Ciudadela (10.5 km), Murallas (15.9 km), and Baluarte (21 km half marathon). Each course begins and ends at Avenida del Ejército and loops through medieval walls, historic plazas, tunnels, and sections typically closed to the public, combining sport and heritage in a festival-like atmosphere. Start times are staggered throughout the evening, beginning with the longer distances, creating a dramatic visual backdrop as runners pass lit-up monuments and cheering spectators. The event attracts thousands of participants from across Spain and abroad, and is especially popular for its unique evening format, festive crowd energy, and one-of-a-kind race scenery. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or soaking in the nighttime ambience, this event promises a memorable running experience.
