Corresan Ruta da Prata Angrois 2026: date and distances

Plan your race pace

The Corresan Ruta da Prata Angrois is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, in Santiago de Compostela as part of the CorreSan popular race circuit. The event listing gives the adult race a distance of 5.2 kilometers, although some calendars round it to 5 kilometers. School races of 1.2 and 2.4 kilometers are also listed, and registration is shown as free, with a deadline of November 11.

The event is part of the 12th edition of the CorreSan circuit and carries the name Memorial Manolo Moure. The Concello de Santiago de Compostela is listed as the organizer in information published by the Galician Athletics Federation. The date is confirmed, but the available details do not specify a start time, an exact starting point or a detailed course map; those details should not be treated as confirmed until the full regulations are published.

A November race in Santiago de Compostela

The race will take place in Santiago de Compostela, in the province of A Coruña, on November 14, 2026. The date falls on a Saturday and places the event in the final stretch of the Galician autumn calendar, when popular races often bring cool mornings, shorter days and changeable weather. The available listing classifies the event as a road or asphalt race.

Angrois is part of the event’s name, but the information reviewed does not give a street address for the start or allow the route to be reconstructed with confidence. That distinction matters to participants and spectators: knowing the municipality is not the same as knowing how to get there, where to park or where the finish line will be. The precise location and schedules are still awaiting public confirmation in the available reference information.

The Memorial Manolo Moure is part of the municipal CorreSan circuit, presented as a healthy-racing initiative connected with physical activity and community life. Its format makes popular running accessible to different levels: the adult event is accompanied by shorter school races. That makes the day more than an adult competition, although the organizational details for each start still need to be checked in the official event notice.

Distances listed for the event

The difference between the 5 kilometers shown on some calendars and the 5.2 kilometers listed for the adult category appears to be a rounding difference rather than two separate adult races. For pacing purposes, the more specific figure, 5.2 kilometers, is the better reference, subject to confirmation in the final regulations. Two tenths of a kilometer may seem minor in a popular race, but they slightly change the average pace a runner expects to maintain.

The registration information also lists two school categories: one covering 1.2 kilometers and the other 2.4 kilometers. These distances are adapted for younger participants and should not be confused with the adult course. The information does not specify age groups, grade-based categories, a results system or separate start times, so it would be unwise to infer them from distance alone. Those criteria are normally set out in the regulations for each edition.

Together, the event offers a short adult race and two school distances. No 10-kilometer race or trail option is listed: the available description specifies road and asphalt. There is also not enough information to confirm whether the course is flat, has tight turns or runs along roads open to traffic. The published distance gives a broad idea of the challenge; a course map and elevation profile will be needed to assess it more precisely.

Free registration and the announced deadline

Information gathered for this edition says that registration is free and gives November 11, 2026, as the closing date, three days before the race. That detail is associated with the adult event and school categories in the listing reviewed. Since conditions can change, the fee and deadline should be checked on the current registration form or in the latest regulations before entering.

Free entry removes the listed race fee, but does not answer every practical question. The available information does not specify parental consent requirements for minors, participant caps, change policies, refund rules or documents needed for bib collection. Families in particular should check how school entries are completed and whether registration requires information or consent from a responsible adult.

The listing also notes that race prices can include administration, insurance or other charges, although registration for this event is described as free. The most sensible way to read those details is to distinguish the advertised fee from the organizer’s final terms. If the registration platform shows a charge, the regulations should explain what it covers. The available information lists no fee other than zero euros.

What is still unknown about the course

The distance and surface provide an initial guide, but they are no substitute for a map. The reference information does not include a turn-by-turn description, an elevation profile or an exact start and finish address. It is therefore not possible to say whether the course passes through a particular part of Angrois, shares the road with vehicles or uses paths. The route is not described in enough detail to anticipate hills or traffic conditions.

The same caution applies to race-day services. There is no information about water stations, bag storage, toilets, medical support, reserved parking or bib collection. Some of these services may be arranged simply for a race of just over five kilometers, but their availability should not be assumed. Start times and the gathering point are essential details for participants and spectators, and they are not yet included in the information provided.

Before travelling, it will be useful to review the organizer’s latest announcement, especially to confirm the meeting point, schedules and access instructions. Santiago has tourist and university activity throughout the year; traffic and parking availability can vary by area and day. Without a specific address, it is unwise to plan on nearby parking or assume that the start is beside a familiar city landmark.

A short race still calls for sensible preparation

The planned 5.2 kilometers for adults makes the event an approachable distance for people who already run regularly, but short does not necessarily mean easy. The pace can be more intense than in a longer race, leaving little room to recover from a start that is too fast. Proportionate preparation generally means consistent easy runs, some faster-paced work and enough recovery, adjusted to each runner’s fitness and experience.

People new to running may consider completing the course by alternating running and walking, provided the regulations allow it and the plan suits their fitness. For school categories, the priority should be a safe, age-appropriate activity rather than adult performance expectations. For anyone with a medical history or persistent discomfort, advice from a health professional is more appropriate than increasing training load for a particular race date.

Rain and damp conditions are common possibilities in Galicia in November, but a reliable forecast is not available this far ahead. The reference listing says that no forecast had yet been published for the race. Weather should be checked closer to November 14, along with any organizer updates. If the surface is wet, shoe grip and caution on turns become more important; without a course description, specific surfaces cannot be confirmed.

The event’s place in the CorreSan circuit

CorreSan is presented as a healthy-racing circuit organized by the Galician Athletics Federation and sponsored by the Concello de Santiago de Compostela through its municipal sports department. The Angrois event is listed as part of its 12th edition in 2026. A circuit gives local events a shared framework while allowing each race to retain its own route and neighborhood or municipal character.

That local dimension helps explain why school races appear alongside the adult category. The competition also becomes an opportunity for younger and older participants to share a sports event, with separate distances and age-appropriate goals. However, the available information does not provide the full CorreSan calendar, overall scoring or rules for an aggregate standings table. It should not be assumed that every circuit race follows identical regulations.

The memorial adds Manolo Moure’s name to the event and distinguishes it within Santiago’s running calendar. The information reviewed does not describe the honoree’s background or explain the origin of the name, so it would be wrong to assign a biography or history not documented in the event notice. What can be verified is that the name is part of the official 2026 event title and is associated with the Angrois race.

Details to confirm before race Saturday

Several essential details can already be established: the race is scheduled for November 14, 2026, in Santiago de Compostela, is part of the CorreSan circuit and includes a 5.2-kilometer adult race alongside school distances of 1.2 and 2.4 kilometers. Registration is also listed as free, with a November 11 deadline. Confirmation of the date does not mean that all logistical details have been published.

The start time, exact location, course, detailed categories, bib collection and available services remain to be specified. The federation’s website identifies the Concello de Santiago de Compostela as the organizer and lists the event in the circuit, but the reference information does not provide a verifiable registration link or start address. Those gaps should be resolved through the updated regulations, not by extrapolating from earlier editions or other races.

The event brings popular running and school participation together on the same day, with a short adult distance and an advertised entry fee of zero euros. Its practical appeal will also depend on the details yet to be published: a clear map and confirmed schedules can shape the experience as much as the stopwatch. For now, the date and distances outline a recognizable event, but its logistics remain incomplete; the organizer’s final information will be the decisive reference for arriving with realistic expectations.
