The 12th Cursa Sa Murada Iberia Express – Ser Runner took place in Palma on Saturday evening, September 26. Organized by Club Marathon Mallorca and Cadena SER Radio Mallorca with support from Elitechip, the annual event aimed to combine competitive racing, family participation, and charity. The race began at 8pm from Parc de la Mar in front of Palma Cathedral, with participants of all ages taking to the streets.
The 5km and 10km races followed at 9pm, offering a range of distances to cater to different abilities. The event featured a solidarity race, open to all, which was non-competitive but encouraged participation. Participants in the solidarity race paid a €5 fee, while those with mobility issues or accompanying volunteers could join for free.
The 10km course was a 5km route doubled for added challenge, running through Palma’s landmarks such as the Cathedral, Palau Real, and Dalt Murada. Safety measures included police presence, medical staff, and ambulances. Runners were recommended to use headlamps due to parts of the route having limited lighting. The race further added to Palma’s roster of community sporting events, bringing together runners and families for an evening of fitness, competition, and fundraising.
