Catalonia is blessed with great year round weather for many sports (see our climate chart) and has a highly organised and competitive annual sporting calendar. Why not book your holiday to coincide with a sporting event and then spend the week training with Creative Catalonia before putting yourself to the test on the weekend.

Whatever sport you are interested in doing on your holiday in Catalonia, Spain let Creative Catalonia organise your accommodation, transfers, entries and anything else that you may need to get the most out of your holiday here.

Running

The Barcelona Marathon is flat, fast and scenic. The wholly-urban course starts and finishes on the Avenida Maria Cristina in front of the Magic Fountain and offers a tour of La Rambla and almost all the other sights of Barcelona. Plus there are trophies for all finishers.

If you're in Barcelona in May you can join 60,000 other runners in the Cursa del Corte Ingles. Like its 12-K U.S. cousins (Bloomsday and Bay to Breakers, both also held in May), this 12-K race is one of the world's largest running events. It starts and finishes at the Placa de Catalunya and goes through the Estadi Olimpic.

Other big races are: The Nike Firefighters 10-K (April) which attracts about 5,000 runners, while the Cursa de la Merce Half-Marathon and 5-K (September) are part of the city's annual 4-day, wine-and-cheese festival.

Duathlons & Triathlons

Catalonia has a very active competition scene for both Duathlons and Triathlons throughout most of the year. Creative Catalonia is your perfect choice to organise a week of training before the event to make sure that you are in perfect shape.
