Registrations Open for Final Vigo Contra el Cáncer Race as City Commits to Continue Event From 2026

The municipality will assume organization from 2026 to ensure continuity after the association’s final edition.

Overview

  • Registration opened on September 11 for the October 19 race in Coia, with entries available online and in person at El Corte Inglés.
  • All proceeds are designated for Vigo4SAR, a sarcoma research project led by María Mayán at the Universidade de Vigo’s Cinbio/CellCOM group.
  • Participants can opt for a 5 km noncompetitive route or a 10 km timed race with prizes, with the 10 km included in the Run RUN VIGO program.
  • Sign-ups will close when the 5,000-participant cap is reached or by October 13, whichever comes first.
  • Organizers set a €300,000 fundraising goal for this farewell edition, as Mayor Abel Caballero praised the association’s work and announced the city’s takeover starting in 2026.
