Marratxí’s charity race sets its date for 2026

Plan your race pace

The Siurell charity race will return on November 7, 2026, with Sa Cabaneta confirmed as its venue in the Mallorcan municipality of Marratxí. The date and town make it possible to mark the next edition on the calendar, but the 2026 schedule, distances, entry fee and registration conditions have not yet been announced.

Details from the previous edition help explain the event’s character, but they should not be treated as confirmation that the same programme will return. In 2025, it featured 5-kilometre and 12-kilometre races, children’s events and community activities, starting and finishing on Casa del Poble Street beside Sant Marçal Church. Those details belong to the 2025 rules and need to be confirmed again for the next event.

Date confirmed in Sa Cabaneta

The next edition is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, in Sa Cabaneta. The town is part of Marratxí, a municipality on Mallorca, and is the available geographic detail identifying the venue. The date falls on a weekend, which may help people travelling from elsewhere on the island plan their journey.

The 2025 event also took place in November, although on a different day: the rules for that edition listed November 8. The timing suggests a similar point in the season, but it does not establish that the route, start times or precise starting location will remain the same. The 2026 date is the only confirmed timing detail here, and it is important to distinguish it from information about the previous edition.

Some event calendars have associated the race with location details that do not match Marratxí. The confirmed venue for 2026 is Sa Cabaneta, on Mallorca, not Formentera. That distinction matters when arranging travel: transport connections, accommodation and journey times depend on identifying the correct municipality before making reservations.

What is known and what remains undecided

The available information confirms that the event will return in 2026 and take place in Sa Cabaneta. It is not enough, however, to publish a complete programme. Participants are still waiting for essential details, including the precise start and finish location, official distances and start times.

The entry fee, registration opening date and whether there will be children’s races, a community walk or Nordic walking are also unconfirmed. These activities were part of the previous edition, but automatically carrying them over would turn historical information into an unsupported promise. Until the 2026 rules are released, they should be treated as details still to come.

The missing information does not alter the basic confirmation of the event, but it does limit how far ahead participants can plan. Those interested can save the date and wait for the final conditions to be published. A confirmed date does not mean registration is open, nor does it establish that race numbers are already available.

The previous edition in 2025

The rules for the 2025 edition described a 12-kilometre race and a 5-kilometre race, alongside a children’s circuit near the finish arch. The programme also included a charity walk and a Nordic walking event over 5 kilometres, both without timing. This format explains why the event can attract runners with different experience levels as well as people who prefer to walk.

That year, the start and finish were on Casa del Poble Street, beside Sant Marçal Church. The route combined urban and interurban sections with local paths in Marratxí. This describes the 2025 course; it does not confirm that the next edition will use the same meeting point or route design.

The 2025 starts were spread across the morning: children’s categories went first, followed by the 12-kilometre and 5-kilometre races, together with the non-competitive events. The rules also said race numbers would be handed out in the start area one hour before the event. The full schedule should be checked when the 2026 rules appear, as changes to the programme could affect the day’s arrangements.

A community event with a charitable purpose

The 2025 edition was presented as a charity race organised by Marratxí Town Council. Its rules stated that all proceeds would go to ASPANOB, the association named for that event. The beneficiary for 2026 has not been confirmed in the available information, so it cannot be assumed that the same charity will receive the proceeds again.

The charitable element gives the event a purpose beyond times and rankings. A community race can bring together club runners, families and local residents who come to walk or support participants. When organisers link proceeds to a social cause, taking part can also become a form of collective support, subject to the conditions announced for each edition.

The 2025 rules set the adult race entry fee at 7 euros, including insurance and a race number, while children’s races were free. The document also said that fees would not be refunded if a registered participant could not take part. These financial terms applied to 2025; they should not be treated as the 2026 price or refund policy without express confirmation.

Distances and formats: background, not a promise

The previous programme’s 5-kilometre and 12-kilometre races provide a clear reference for the event’s earlier format, but they do not establish which distances will be offered in 2026. The previous edition combined a shorter option with a longer one, accommodating different paces and goals. The new event could keep that structure or make changes; there is not yet enough information to say.

The community walk and Nordic walking event offered an untimed alternative, also over 5 kilometres in 2025. The distinction matters: timed race participants start together and are ranked, while a non-competitive activity usually focuses on sharing the route. The 2026 programme has not yet been detailed, so those options cannot be assumed to return.

Children’s races completed the earlier programme with a short route around the finish area. They allowed younger participants to take part in a sporting event, with categories separated by sex under the 2025 rules. The ages, distances, times and participation requirements for any 2026 children’s event will need to appear in the rules for that edition.

What the previous route was like

The course described in 2025 ran through streets, interurban sections and local paths in Marratxí. This combination often alternates surfaces and surroundings: runners may move from steady pavement to local paths, with changes in rhythm and footing. Without an updated map, it is not possible to specify the elevation, the dominant surface or the precise route for 2026.

The previous edition’s organisers said the route would be marked but not fully closed to traffic. Marratxí Local Police and Civil Protection were involved in managing the event. This is useful background about the 2025 conditions, although traffic arrangements and safety measures could change depending on the next course and its permits.

Distance alone is not enough to assess a race’s difficulty. The profile, surface, turns, path width and interaction with traffic all matter. Until the 2026 route is released, describing the event as flat, technical or fast would be speculation. Participants should base any specific preparation on current official information, not on the memory of an earlier edition.

Start times, race numbers and on-course services

The 2025 schedule listed children’s events at 10 a.m., the 12-kilometre race at 11:15 a.m. and the 5-kilometre race, Nordic walking and community walk at 11:20 a.m. The event was scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. None of those times should be treated as final for 2026 until the new programme is published.

Race numbers were handed out one hour before the start in the event area. This made it possible to collect them near the meeting point, but also made it important to arrive with time to spare, particularly for participants who needed to find the location, park or resolve registration issues. It is not yet known whether early collection will be offered next year, whether the same area will be used or whether different instructions will apply.

The 2025 rules listed two refreshment points on the 12-kilometre route and one on the 5-kilometre route. They also assigned safety duties to the competent authorities and event volunteers, and prohibited animals on the course for safety reasons. Refreshments and rules may depend on the final route, so they need to be confirmed in the 2026 regulations.

Registration and the next edition’s price

The 2025 document said registration was handled through Elitechip and set the adult race fee at 7 euros. Children’s entries were free. However, no 2026 price or registration opening date has been confirmed. The platform used for the previous edition may be a useful clue, but it is not enough to establish that it will handle entries next year.

Before paying an entry fee, participants should check that the page is for the correct edition and review what the price includes, refund terms, deadlines and requirements for each event. Community races may have different prices or conditions for different categories, including specific rules for minors. The 2025 price is not a current 2026 fee and should not be used to estimate the cost of entering the new event.

Official registration details are also needed to find out whether there is a participant limit, what information the form requires and how race numbers will be collected. None of these points is confirmed in the available information about the next race. The date can be added to the calendar now, but registration and related expenses require the publication of updated rules.

Awards and categories in the previous event

In 2025, the 5-kilometre and 12-kilometre races had men’s and women’s categories, alongside children’s categories. The rules announced trophies for the first three finishers in each category, for both adult and children’s events. The 2026 category and prize structure has not yet been published, so it cannot be assumed that it will return unchanged.

Categories let participants compare results within groups defined by the organisers, but the exact criteria can vary between events. Minimum age, age brackets, identity checks and ranking rules should be confirmed in the regulations for the relevant year. In children’s races, distances and awards may also be tailored to each age group.

A community race’s value is not measured only by the podium. For many participants, running in a familiar area, sharing the course with family or returning to competition after a break matters as much as the result. At a charity event, that community dimension complements the rankings and helps explain the presence of activities for different kinds of participants.

Sa Cabaneta and the Marratxí setting

Sa Cabaneta is the named location for the 2026 edition, within Marratxí on Mallorca. Correctly identifying the venue helps avoid confusion with other places in the Balearic Islands and makes it easier to plan a journey from Palma or elsewhere on the island. The exact meeting point is still pending, so participants should not enter a specific address into their navigation system based only on the municipality.

In 2025, the start and finish area was beside Sant Marçal Church on Casa del Poble Street. That information helps identify the setting of the event, but does not confirm that the location will remain the same next year. A different course could also mean a new place for race-number collection, runner services or parking.

The local character is part of many community races: for a few hours, familiar streets and paths become a shared route. In Marratxí, the route described in 2025 connected urban areas with local surroundings. The 2026 course needs its own map so runners can check access, surfaces and any traffic restrictions.

Taking a measured approach while the rules are pending

With the date confirmed, runners can reserve the day and maintain general training without assuming a particular distance. Those who run regularly can continue at a level suited to their experience, then adjust their preparation once the distance and profile are known. There is little reason to train specifically for 12 kilometres if organisers have not confirmed that option will be available.

The previous programme suggests a day that could suit different participants, but the choice of event depends on what is announced for 2026. A walk, a short race and a longer race call for different paces and expectations. The first useful reference will be the updated regulations, which should set out routes, start times, rules and participation conditions.

It is also reasonable to bear Mallorca’s November weather in mind without predicting conditions for race day. Temperatures, wind and the chance of rain can vary from one year to the next and throughout the day. A forecast will only become useful closer to the event; until then, decisions should be guided by confirmed information about the course and organisation.

A race awaiting its 2026 details

The 2026 edition already has two basic, verifiable details: it will take place on November 7 in Sa Cabaneta. The 2025 edition provides background on the event’s charitable character and records 5-kilometre and 12-kilometre races, children’s events and non-competitive activities. It does not replace the regulations that must set the conditions for the new edition.

The publication of the rules should clarify distances, the route, start times, beneficiary, price, registration and services. Until then, presenting the 2025 details as confirmed could mislead people planning to take part. The difference between background and current information matters particularly for events whose route or programme can change from year to year.

With its date set, the race once again has a place on Mallorca’s sporting calendar. Its local and charitable character is part of the history described in the previous edition; the shape of the next event will depend on the decisions announced by its organisers. The most reliable information will come with the 2026 event rules, when the outstanding details show how the day will take shape.
