Pamplona hosts the eighth Telephone of Hope race

Plan your race pace

The eighth Carrera+e del Teléfono de la Esperanza will take place on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, in Pamplona, with the start scheduled for 11 a.m. at Parque de Antoniutti. The event includes 5K and 10K races, as well as 5K walking and Nordic walking options. Registration is open and can be completed until 9 p.m. on Nov. 14, subject to places remaining available.

The published entry fee starts at 15 euros and rises to 17 euros in the final registration period. The organizers have set two days for race bib pickup, Nov. 13 and 14, at the headquarters of the Telephone of Hope in Navarre. These details describe an urban event with options to run or walk; the specific route, however, should be checked in the official documentation for this edition.

Date, start time and location

The race is scheduled for Nov. 15, with the event listed between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The stated start time is 11 a.m., while the period through 3 p.m. appears to be the event’s overall time window. It should not automatically be taken as the finish time for every category: the available information does not provide separate start times for each option.

The stated venue is Parque de Antoniutti in Pamplona. Knowing the location helps participants plan their journey and arrival, although the information provided does not specify access routes, parking areas or road closures. It also does not identify the precise finish point or confirm whether all categories share the same start and finish, details that should be checked in the regulations and course map.

The event falls on a Sunday, with a midmorning start that allows participants to arrive early and prepare without getting up before dawn. Even so, registrants should check for the organizers’ latest updates, especially if they are travelling from outside the city. The venue and start time are identified; further logistical details may be updated.

Two running distances and noncompetitive options

The program includes 5K and 10K routes, offering a choice between a shorter event and a longer challenge. Distance alone does not determine difficulty: elevation, surface, turns and pace also matter, but those details are not specified in the available material for this edition.

Alongside the races, the event lists a 5K walk and a Nordic walking option over the same distance. These alternatives broaden participation beyond people who run regularly. Nordic walking uses poles and its own technique, so participants choosing that category should follow any instructions the organizers publish about equipment and participation rules.

Registration distinguishes four options: 5K, 10K, 5K walk and 5K Nordic walking. The available information does not establish whether these are separate or shared routes, or whether every category follows an identical course. The stated distances are clear, but the map and regulations are needed to understand the route, elevation and conditions for each category.

Entry fees and registration dates

The published fees set an initial price of 15 euros until 12 a.m. on Nov. 1, followed by a 17-euro rate until registration closes at 9 p.m. on Nov. 14. The same prices are listed for all four announced categories. The two-euro increase means the registration date affects the final cost.

Registration opened at 8 p.m. on Sept. 15, 2026, and closes at 9 p.m. on Nov. 14. Since the current date comes before the stated deadline, registration is listed as open. That status does not guarantee that places remain available in every category: the reference information does not specify a participant limit or report that the event is sold out.

The fees are listed as including taxes, according to the registration platform. Processing charges, changes of name and refund terms are not detailed, so those points should be checked before payment is completed. The published fee ranges from 15 to 17 euros; any additional charge, if applicable, will depend on the terms shown during registration.

How to register

Registration is managed by the Telephone of Hope in Navarre through RockTheSport. The form allows participants to select one of the listed categories and complete registration during the available period. Before confirming, check that the chosen distance matches the intended event and that the personal information entered is correct.

The registration period began at 8 p.m. on Sept. 15 and ends at 9 p.m. on Nov. 14. The fee changes at 12 a.m. on Nov. 1, when the published price rises from 15 to 17 euros. Registering earlier provides access to the lower fee, although the reference information does not say whether each category has a separate quota.

The platform offers options for questions about payment, missing names on the participant list, registration details, withdrawals and changes. The available information does not explain the terms or deadlines for each case, so it is not safe to assume that registrations can be freely changed or refunded. The regulations and the organizer’s instructions are the best references for those details.

Race bib pickup before race day

Race bibs can be collected on Friday, Nov. 13, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.. Pickup is scheduled at the Telephone of Hope headquarters at Calle San Blas 13, ground floor, in Pamplona-Iruña. The address identifies the pickup point, although no additional instructions about access or required documents have been published.

With the start scheduled for Sunday morning, collecting the bib the previous day avoids leaving that task until the hours before the event. Participants unable to attend in person should ask the organizers whether someone else can collect it and what identification they would need. The available information confirms the two dates, time windows and address, but does not specify the process for collecting bibs on behalf of another person.

The 2026 T-shirt is also mentioned in the event information, but sizes, availability, inclusion in the entry fee and distribution arrangements are not specified. It is best not to assume that it is included in the price or that a particular size can be selected without checking the registration form or race instructions. These practical details may matter to participants travelling from outside Pamplona.

The course is worth checking

Parque de Antoniutti is identified as the event venue and start location, and the reference information describes the race as a road event on asphalt. However, the available data do not reproduce the course details. There is no reliable basis for specifying streets, elevation, number of laps, water stations or traffic restrictions.

The registration platform lists documents containing the 2026 race regulations and course. Those materials should be consulted to learn the precise route and check for changes. An official map provides information that the distance alone cannot: it can show turns, narrow sections, possible inclines and the locations of the start and finish.

For regular runners, knowing the route helps with pacing and effort; for walkers and Nordic walkers, it helps participants assess the terrain and prepare for the distance. Without the map, it is not possible to responsibly describe the difficulty of each category. The date and location are confirmed, but they should not be mistaken for a complete description of the course.

An event open to different paces

The combination of two running distances and two walking options means the event is not limited to people accustomed to racing. A 5K may suit someone looking for a shorter event, while the 10K involves a longer effort. This is general guidance: the experience depends on a participant’s preparation, course conditions and pace.

The walk and Nordic walking categories offer another way to cover the 5K, although each has its own demands. Sustained walking requires managing effort and choosing comfortable footwear; Nordic walking also involves coordination and technique. The range of formats broadens the ways to take part, without establishing that every option follows identical rules or includes the same services.

The event is organized by the Telephone of Hope in Navarre, according to the registration information. The organization’s name is part of the event’s identity, but the available details do not specify how proceeds will be used, the scope of any social initiative or the services available on race day. To avoid attributing unconfirmed goals or benefits, those points should be limited to what the organizers explicitly announce.

Planning the day with practical information

An 11 a.m. start leaves time to reach Pamplona, find Parque de Antoniutti and take care of pre-race arrangements. Travel choices, the weather forecast and the distance between accommodation and the start can all affect what each participant needs. No official arrival recommendations have been published, so access times or restrictions should not be assumed unless they appear in the event information.

For a November event, suitable clothing may depend on the day’s temperature, wind and rain. Checking the forecast before leaving helps participants choose layers and avoid being cold while waiting or overdressed during the activity. The available information does not include a forecast for the date or specific weather data. Clothing should match the actual conditions that morning, rather than a fixed expectation based only on the month.

It is also useful to review the regulations, map and organizer communications in advance. This makes it possible to check category rules, the applicable schedule and any logistical changes. If the registration form provides information about the T-shirt, services or collection of a bib by another person, those details should be verified there. Simple planning can reduce questions on race day without replacing official instructions.

What is known and what still needs confirmation

The key details for this edition are established: it will take place on Nov. 15, 2026, start at 11 a.m. at Parque de Antoniutti, and offer 5K and 10K races plus 5K walking and Nordic walking categories. The registration period, tiered fees and race bib pickup times are also listed. Together, these details provide the essentials for considering participation.

Other details do not appear in the information reviewed: the full course, elevation, maximum number of participants, water stations, runner services and cancellation or refund terms. The information also does not specify how start times are arranged across categories. Presenting these points as confirmed would create an incomplete or potentially inaccurate picture of the event.

The 2026 regulations and course map are therefore the key references for filling in the gaps. The organizer may also publish updates closer to the date about last-minute changes. It is worth distinguishing confirmed information from details that are still pending: that lets registrants plan clearly without relying on assumptions about the course or services.

Pamplona gets ready for a morning of running

The Nov. 15 event will bring together 5K and 10K runners, walkers and Nordic walking participants in Pamplona. With the start set for 11 a.m. at Parque de Antoniutti, the day offers several ways to take part in an event organized by the Telephone of Hope in Navarre. Registration remains open until 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14, with fees of 15 or 17 euros depending on the registration date.

The practical appeal of the event is that its key details — date, categories, prices and bib pickup — are already set, while a complete picture will depend on the regulations and course map. The course information will show how each distance translates onto the ground. Until then, the event is presented as an urban gathering with options to run and walk, with preparation beginning by checking the official details.
