Authorised by the Spanish Athletics Federation and the Catalan Athletics Federation, the Cursa de Bombers Barcelona (Firefighters’ Run) is a 10 km event that should bring together 20,000 participants this year.

The event starts and finishes in Av. Marquès de l’Argentera, by Rere Palau. The route goes through Pla de Palau, Passeig d’Isabel II, Plaça d’Idrissa Diallo, Plaça de Correus, Passeig de Colom, Portal de la Pau, Passeig de Josep Carner, Plaça de les Drassanes, Avinguda del Paral·lel, Floridablanca, Comte d’Urgell, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Marina, Casp, Passeig de Sant Joan, Ronda de Sant Pere, Plaça d’Urquinaona, Via Laietana and, again, Passeig d’Isabel II and Pla de Palau.

Traffic circulation will be prohibited in all the streets making up the route from 8 am and during the event, with mobility gradually reestablished once runners pass through.

At around 1 pm, Passeig de Picasso will be reopened, while Av. Marquès de l’Argentera should be open to traffic again around 2.30 pm.

As from 7 am on Sunday, various road surfaces will be divided for compatibility between the race and traffic circulation at certain points, particularly in Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Marina and Pl. Drassanes.

Alternative routes will also be enabled and circulation reversed in various streets in Ciutat Vella, L’Eixample and Sants-Montjuïc to facilitate mobility for local residents and access to car parks.

Public transport

Various bus services that use the affected streets may change their routes or limit them during the run. We advise you to check the TMB alerts website.

People are advised to use the metro for journeys in the area around the route, particularly in Ciutat Vella, L’Eixample and Sants-Montjuïc.

Parking prohibition

From 8 pm on Friday, 6 November, to 4 pm on Sunday, 8 November, it will not be possible to park in Av. Marquès de l’Argentera, between Pg. Picasso and Pla de Palau.

There will also be parking restrictions from 7 am on Saturday to 3 pm on Sunday at various points in Passeig de Circumval·lació, Carrer de la Duana, Passeig de Picasso and Passeig d’Isabel II.

Vehicles parked in these spaces may be removed by the towing service.

Other traffic closures

The work to assemble and disassemble the start and finish lines will mean disruptions on Saturday morning, mainly in Av. Marquès de l’Argentera, Passeig de Picasso, Passeig de Circumval·lació and Passeig de Pujades.

The most significant restrictions start on Sunday morning, from 4.30 am, and will be in place until the disassembly work is completed.
