🌙 When the sun sets over Seville and the heat of the day begins to subside, the city transforms. The streets fill with life, the terraces light up and thousands of people prepare for one of the most special nights of the year.
On 25 September, at 22:00, the KH7 Night Race of Seville will celebrate its 38th edition with an absolute record of participation: 26,000 runners will fill the 8.5 kilometres of a route that runs through the heart of the Andalusian capital with orange. It is the most multitudinous race in Europe in its category, an event that combines sport, celebration and solidarity, and which has become a symbol of the city.
At The Sun Places, where luxury is defined by authenticity and memorable experiences, we want to invite you to experience this unique night from the heart of Seville. Stay with us in our Luxury Apartments in Seville and let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Nocturna.
The Nocturna del Guadalquivir is not just any race. It is a social phenomenon that every year brings together runners of all ages and conditions, from experienced athletes to entire families who come out to enjoy a night of sport and community.
The race, organised by the Municipal Sports Institute (IMD) of the Seville City Council, has a participatory, playful and family character, so there are no official classifications or timing. What matters is not the time, but the experience of running through the streets of a unique city, under the stars and surrounded by thousands of people who share the same passion.
📅 When is the KH7 Night Race of Seville 2026?
The KH7 Night Race of Seville 2026 will traditionally be held on the last Friday of September. This year it is Friday 25 at 22:00. The start and finish will be located at the Paseo de las Delicias, at the height of the Glorieta de Buenos Aires, one of the most emblematic points of the city. Registrations are already sold out in their initial quota of 25,000 bibs, but the organisation has expanded by 1,000 additional places to reach 26,000 participants, breaking all historical records.
📍 Where is the KH7 Night Race of Seville 2026 located?
The route of the KH7 Night Race of Seville 2026 has a distance of 8.5 kilometres and runs through the main avenues and streets of the city centre. This year, as a novelty, the circuit will be run in the opposite direction to previous editions, with the aim that the passage through the Arjona underpass occurs on the return and not on the way out, avoiding possible bottlenecks.
The route includes such emblematic points as:
- Paseo de las Delicias (start)
- Calle Palos de la Frontera
- Calle Parlamento de Andalucía
- Glorieta Duquesa Cayetana de Alba
- Paseo de las Delicias (finish)
It is an urban, flat and accessible route, perfect for runners of all levels, from those starting out in running to those looking to enjoy a night of sport in an unbeatable setting.
🏃 A charity and inclusive race
The KH7 Night Race of Seville 2026 is much more than a sporting event. It is a charity and inclusive event that every year involves groups and associations of the city. Throughout the previous week, the Food Bank will be present at the Runner's Fair collecting milk donations to help disadvantaged groups.
In addition, for the first time, the Down Seville Association will participate with around fifty volunteers among people with Down Syndrome and family members, who will collaborate both in the delivery of bibs and at the refreshment point of the circuit. It is one more example of the inclusive and supportive spirit that characterises this race, which has become one of the most beloved by the people of Seville.
🏆 What the Nocturna represents for Seville and The Sun Places
The KH7 Night Race of Seville 2026 represents Seville's ability to turn sport into a celebration. It is a night in which the city throws itself into the race with the runners, in which the streets fill with music, entertainment and colour.
