Returning to Madrid on 26 April 2026, the Zurich Rock ’n’ Roll Running Series is Spain’s biggest running festival, staging a full marathon, a chip-timed half marathon and a mass-participation 10K that route through the city’s most iconic boulevards and landmarks. The race weekend includes a runner expo and packet pickup at IFEMA, live bands on course (the series’ trademark), wheelchair/handbike categories and full race support—medical, aid stations and timing—organized by MAPOMA and the Rock ’n’ Roll team. Organizers expect tens of thousands of participants and the event is title-sponsored by Zurich Seguros; the weekend delivers music, spectacle, and large-scale race logistics suited to elites and mass-participants alike.
