Santander 5K 2027

Running beside Santander Bay, along the Paseo de Pereda and through the heart of the city with the Cantabrian Sea as a backdrop: the Santander 5K is one of Cantabria's spring road races. It is a 5 km urban race on closed roads, held on the same day as the other distances of the event. General information: - The 15th edition takes place on Sunday 2027-05-02 in Santander. - It is organised by GED Sports with the support of Santander City Council and Peña de Fondo Cantabria. - The shared limit in the previous edition was 1,500 runners. - In the previous edition runners born in 2018 or earlier could take part; under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. Why it is special: - The setting is unique: the start and finish are on the Paseo de Pereda, one of the most elegant promenades in northern Spain, facing the bay. - It is a flat, fast course, perfect for chasing a personal best or making your debut at the distance. - Registration is very affordable. - The free T-shirt, finish-line videos and downloadable diploma round off a well-organised experience. Course: the race covers 5 km on a closed urban circuit, starting on the Paseo de Pereda and finishing next to the Agencia Tributaria building. It is a single out-and-back lap via Calvo Sotelo, Paseo de Pereda, Castelar, Gamazo and Severiano Ballesteros, along the bay. Every kilometre is marked. Timetable: in the previous edition the start was at 09:00 from the Paseo de Pereda, and the time limit was 50 min. No start corral by finishing time has been announced. Provisional results are published the next day from 14:00. Registration and prices: for 2027 the organiser says registration will open soon on gedsports.com, online only. In the previous edition, the tiered prices were 10 €, 14 € and 20 €: until 31 March, in April, and from 1 to 7 May. Registration closed three days before the race. Bib pickup: in the previous edition bib collection was at Plaza Porticada on Saturday afternoon (17:00–20:00) and on race morning (07:30–08:30). Bring your confirmation email, ID or receipt. The disposable chip is attached to the bib, so it does not need to be returned. T-shirt sizes are handed out first come, first served. There is no expo. Free services: - Bag storage near the start, from 08:30 to 09:30. - Showers at a school 300 m from the finish, if authorised. - Drinks on the course and at the finish. - Finish-line videos. - An official diploma to download from the following Monday. - An official T-shirt for all entrants. There are trophies for the top three men and women overall. Tips: arrive early at Plaza Porticada if you collect your bib on race morning, drop your bag at the cloakroom before 09:30 and use the flat course to settle into your pace from the start. Wind from the bay can play a part, so it pays to run in a group on the most exposed stretches. Bib exchange: registration is personal and non-transferable and is not refunded under any circumstances. No official waiting list has been announced. Alternatives to get a bib: register early to get the first price tier. If places sell out, join the waiting list on Bibready with a bib alert. A bib exchange on Bibready would only be possible if the organiser allows a change of holder. FAQ: - When is it? On 2027-05-02. - Where is the start?
