La Mercè 2K Bimbo Global Race is held jointly and merges with the last two kilometres of La Mercè 10K Bimbo Global Race. It will start at the intersection of Calles Sepúlveda and Comte Borrell.
Registration is free of charge.
The meeting time for participants will be at 9:00 am.
The race is open to all citizens aged 14 and above with intellectual, visual, or reduced mobility disabilities who, due to their physical condition, are unable to cover a distance of 10 km.
Participants under 18 years of age (in this category, participation is allowed from the age of 14) must be accompanied by their coach or legal guardian.
Participants must wear a chip, but their companion should not wear one, as it would cause confusion when classifying the runners.
The starting time will be decided on the spot depending on the flow of runners in the Open race. The technical manager of the event and the referee of the Catalan Athletics Federation will make the decision.
To register, go to the Registration section until 11 September. Registration is mandatory for both the runner and their companion (the runner's companions should not wear a chip to avoid confusion when classifying the runners).
The first three men and women finishers in the race will receive a trophy, and a Finisher medal will be awarded to all participants.
A meeting point will be set up at the finish line, identified by Barcelona Esport Inclou programme banners, which will be easy for participants to identify and where sustainable refreshments will be served while awaiting the awards ceremony.
Also, there will be ID’d staff at the finish line to accompany runners to the meeting point.
