Alcoy’s obstacle race gets a date and start time

Plan your race pace

The obstacle race scheduled in Alcoy will take place on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, with the start announced for 8 a.m. Available information identifies the event as organized by SUPERA’T TEAM and says registration remains open until Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m. The event therefore has a confirmed date and start time, although several practical details about the course are not yet included in the information reviewed.

Participation is charitable, and the entry fee is nonrefundable once a registration has been accepted, according to the published terms. No exact price or official distance is listed, so it is not possible to say how much entry costs or how long the course will be. Distinguishing confirmed facts from missing details matters when planning participation without assuming features that have not been announced.

An obstacle event with a confirmed date

The event is listed in Alcoy, in Alicante province, and classified as an obstacle race. The calendar gives Nov. 8, 2026, with an 8 a.m. start. These are the essential details for identifying the event, but they do not establish the route, bib pickup time or how long the activity may last.

The organizer named in the event information is SUPERA’T TEAM. Registration is managed by TIMERACES through RockTheSport, according to the listing reviewed. The platform also has information and document sections, but their existence does not confirm details absent from the available material, such as the course, minimum age or included services.

The race date and registration deadline are separate: the listed registration period ends on Nov. 3, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., five days before the event. The reference information also lists registration as opening on July 30 at noon. Those times belong to the registration calendar and should not be confused with the race start, scheduled for 8 a.m. on event day.

What is confirmed and what remains unknown

Verifiable information confirms the broad format, location, date, start time and registration period. However, no official distance is provided, nor are obstacles, elevation, surface or laps described. Without those details, it would be inaccurate to call the event short, long, urban or mountainous, or to compare its physical demands with other races.

Other logistical details are also missing: the exact start and finish location, address, route, bib pickup hours and access instructions. The listing refers to general event information and downloadable documents, including 2026 official regulations, but the available extract does not reproduce the full terms. The official regulations are the key reference for issues such as mandatory equipment, categories, safety rules and participation procedures.

The absence of these details from the summary does not necessarily mean they are missing from the event documents. It means they cannot be confirmed from the information available here. Before traveling, participants should check for updates, especially about the start location, bib pickup and race-day instructions. In an obstacle event, such details are more than formalities: they affect both arrival and preparation.

Registration and participation dates

The listed registration window runs from July 30 to Nov. 3, 2026. The stated opening time is noon and the closing time is 11:59 p.m. The source says registration is open; because the deadline has not passed as of the date of this information, the event is listed as open. Its status could change if places sell out or the organizer revises the calendar.

Registration is handled through RockTheSport, with management attributed to TIMERACES. The platform provides contact options for common issues, including payment problems, data changes, receipts, withdrawals and general event questions. The availability of these channels does not guarantee the same outcome for every request: applicable terms depend on the event rules and current regulations.

The reviewed material does not state the registration fee. The listing says published amounts include taxes and that the platform fee may not be included, but the available extract shows no specific price. A reliable total therefore cannot be provided. The final cost should be checked during registration, where the amount, any additional charges and applicable terms should appear before payment is confirmed.

A charitable entry fee with specific terms

The organizer says the fee is nonrefundable once registration has been accepted, because the event is charitable. This matters to anyone who may ultimately be unable to participate and should be understood before paying. There is not enough information to say whether exceptions apply in the event of cancellation, injury or other circumstances, so those cases must be resolved under the regulations or the organizer’s specific terms.

The same information offers an option for registered participants who do not take part: they may collect the race bag in the bib-and-finish area by showing their ID. The instruction is specific, but it does not state collection hours or whether another person can collect it for the registered participant. The event may issue further instructions; until then, the official document should take precedence over any general interpretation of this condition.

The charitable nature of the event makes withdrawal terms especially relevant: payment does not work like an ordinary reservation with an automatic refund. Before registering, participants should consider this condition alongside the final price and rules for transferring a registration. The registration page has a contact option for withdrawals, refunds or name changes, but the existence of that option does not by itself override the announced no-refund policy.

Understanding an obstacle race

The event’s name places it in the obstacle-race category, but that label alone does not describe its difficulty. Events in this category vary widely: some combine running with physical challenges, while others use closed circuits or natural terrain. Without the course design, it would be premature to attribute mud, walls, carries, water or any specific obstacle to this event. The broad format is not a substitute for the official route.

Reasonable preparation depends on information released by the organizer. Distance and elevation help estimate effort; obstacle types indicate demands on strength, balance and grip; and terrain affects footwear choices. Since these details are absent from the available summary, highly specific advice would be speculative. Participants should avoid assuming that this Alcoy event shares the features of other obstacle races.

In general, people taking part in this kind of event benefit from a running base and enough fitness to alternate movement with short bursts of effort. However, intensity and demands vary substantially between events. Anyone with an injury, medical condition or questions about fitness should assess their situation with a health professional rather than assuming that an obstacle-race label makes an event suitable for every level.

Documents, safety and race day

The registration listing includes official 2026 regulations, with the file name dated July 28, 2026. That document is the appropriate place to check participation requirements and limits, as well as potential rules on disqualification, assistance or course changes. Reading the regulations before paying clarifies the terms participants accept and can prevent surprises in the days before the event.

Topics to look for include eligible ages, required identification, bib pickup instructions, access times and rules for adverse weather. These details are not included in the reference information and should not be presented as confirmed requirements. The regulations may also explain what happens if the organizer changes or suspends the race, which is a separate issue from the standard entry-fee refund policy.

The only confirmed race-day time is the 8 a.m. start. Bib area opening hours and recommended arrival time are not stated. Arriving early often reduces stress at races, but the exact timing should follow the official instructions and the final start location. Because no address appears in the information reviewed, it is also not possible to describe specific parking, transit or access arrangements.

Alcoy as the setting, without guessing the route

Alcoy provides the event’s geographic setting, but that does not identify the immediate surroundings of the course. Available information does not say whether the start will be in the town center, at a sports facility or in a natural area. Nor is there a map to assess slopes, paths or crossings. The town is confirmed; the route is not.

This distinction has practical consequences. Travel time, footwear, clothing and day planning depend on the precise location, not just the municipality. The finish could also differ from the start, although there is no information to establish that for this edition. Until a map is published, general references to Alcoy should not be turned into route or access directions.

The municipality is in Alicante province, in the Valencian Community. That location helps place the event, but it does not allow anyone to infer exact weather conditions for race day. November weather can change, and actual conditions will only become clearer closer to the date. The organizer may communicate relevant changes; for now, there is no official forecast that can be treated as valid for the event.

A different event from the Peruvian scholarship

The same name also appears online in connection with a FONDOEMPLEO scholarship in Peru that funds technical or university studies for young people. That educational opportunity is not the obstacle race announced in Alcoy: they are separate initiatives in different countries with unrelated purposes. The overlap can mix search results, particularly when the name is queried without a location or sports term.

The scholarship in the reference results has academic and age requirements, while the Alcoy listing is for a one-day sporting event. Their dates, responsible organizations and registration processes should not be confused. Alcoy and SUPERA’T TEAM identify the sporting event; FONDOEMPLEO and Peru relate to the educational opportunity described by another source.

This clarification also helps interpret the dates. Nov. 8, 2026, is the date of the race in Alcoy, whereas scholarship deadlines concern applications and academic selection. The town and the word race are useful references for finding relevant information, though event details should always be checked against the event’s own documents and channels.

What to look for in future announcements

With the event scheduled for Nov. 8, the missing details become increasingly important as the date approaches. The most useful updates would confirm the start location, map, distance, bib pickup times and full participation terms. Clarification of the total price and any platform fee would also help. Those details shape the practical logistics beyond the confirmed date.

The listing includes announcement and document sections, official regulations and contact options for the organizer. These channels provide places to check for changes, but their existence does not mean that a specific update has been published on every outstanding issue. Registration dates and operating instructions can change, so earlier information should not be treated as a guarantee that every detail remains unchanged.

For now, the clearest description is also the most restrained: an obstacle race organized by SUPERA’T TEAM in Alcoy, scheduled to start at 8 a.m. on Nov. 8, with registration open through Nov. 3. The charitable nature of the event and the no-refund condition after registration acceptance are explicitly stated. Distance, route, address and price remain unconfirmed in the available information, and those unknowns should be resolved before making decisions that depend on them.
