From Mateo Inurria Street, these 10 kilometers approved by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation are a journey through the heart of Madrid, passing through streets such as Pius XII, Serrano, Alcalá or Menéndez Pelayo, and with the Alcalá Gate as the most iconic point of the tour.
An exceptional scenario for a duel at the summit, in which the nearly 7,000 runners that are expected in Liza will fight to take their team to victory.

We talk to both of them in Take care of Runner.
Lidia Campo He hopes that Sunday will be “the gold brooch to the season” and be able to repeat the victory of 2023 since in 2024 he could not participate because he had other competitive commitments. He also stressed that although whenever it is put in an exit line it is competitive, in popular races the sensation is different. “I feel a much healthier atmosphere than when we go twelve girls in a 5000 to get a position to qualify for an international career or represent our country or a brand. So that atmosphere is not the extreme nervousness that I breathe the track, anxiety. Here I do not have respect for all the tests, but I believe that the closeness that the popular corridor gives me and the tranquility, that they even ask you, I even ask you. I feel that I empathize a lot with the popular athlete, to create a bond and know many people“.

Nicolás Cuestas coincided with Lidia Campo In what to run in popular races “takes you from the context of high competition and connects you with popular corridors, who greet you, ask you for a photo before the race or advice or whatever, and that they also perceive that We are the same as they no matter how quickly And that real connection exists. And well, it gets nervous and you are enjoying until the exit shot sounds. “
