The countdown is over. The Guadalquivir Night Race through Seville 2024 is about to turn the city's streets into an authentic party of sport, color and fun. This Friday, at 10:00 p.m., the Glorieta de Buenos Aires will be the epicenter of one of the most beloved and anticipated sporting events by the people of Seville.

What is the Guadalquivir Night Race?
The Guadalquivir Night Race through Seville 2024 is much more than a race. It is one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year due to its popular and massive nature. Because the Night Race does not "discriminate": it does not require great physical preparation, unlike the Seville Half Marathon or the Zurich Seville Marathon, the other great road races in the city.
The Night Race is different. It is a sporting event but above all a fun one, a party that dyes the city's streets orange and is already part of Sevillian tradition on the last Friday of each September.
This year marks its 36th edition, a long history that demonstrates the roots of this race in the hearts of the people of Seville.
