Known as the Cursa de la Mercè , the fun run covers a distance of 10 kilometres. The event starts in Av. Reina Maria Cristina at 8.30 am and makes its way around the city centre, taking in iconic spots such as Av. Paral·lel, Pg. Sant Joan and Pl. Universitat.

This year’s run also comes with the Cursa Inclusiva 2K Mercè 22, an adapted 2 km version with the goal of all people with disabilities or reduced mobility also being able to enjoy La Mercè through sport.
