Ciutat d'Alzira Night 10K 2027

On a Saturday in May, as night falls over the Ribera, the streets of Alzira light up to welcome hundreds of runners: the Ciutat d'Alzira Night 10K is a fast, certified urban race run under the city lights. It pays tribute to Abel Signes and combines the festive mood of a spring night with a flat course for chasing a personal best. General information: - Date: Saturday 2027-05-15. - Edition: it would be the 12th edition of the 10K Ciutat d'Alzira Memorial Abel Signes, and the fifth as a night race. The 2026 rules call it both the 11th and the 12th, so it is worth confirming. - Distance: 10 km on asphalt and paving, on a certified course. - Start and finish: Avinguda del Parc 23, next to Parc de l'Alquenència. - Start: 21:00 in the previous edition. - Time limit: 1 hour 20 minutes, with a cut-off at km 5 at 40 minutes. - Minimum age: 18; minors can take part with written authorisation from their legal guardian. - Organiser: Club Atletisme RickySporteam Alzira. Why it is special: - Running at night through Alzira, with the streets lit up and spectators cheering, is a different experience. - The course is certified and flat, ideal for improving your 10K time. - There is a €150 bonus for the first man under 31 minutes and the first woman under 35. - The runner's bag includes a gym towel, running briefs, a gel, rosquilletas (local breadsticks) and gummies. Course: 10 urban kilometres on asphalt and paving, starting and finishing next to Parc de l'Alquenència. There are aid stations at km 5 and at the finish. The course is not adapted for wheelchairs. The courses are published on the official website. Timetable: in the previous edition the start was at 21:00, with a cut-off at km 5 at 40 minutes and the finish closing after 1 hour 20 minutes. The organiser will confirm the 2027 times. No start corral by finishing time has been published: runners line up by pace. Registration and prices: registration is on Chiplevante, until 23:59 two days before the race. In the previous edition entry cost €12 plus €3 in fees; until mid-April it included the runner's bag, and after that it did not. 2027 prices are still to be published. Bib pickup: in the previous edition bib pickup was at Decathlon Carcaixent on Friday from 18:30 to 20:30 and on Saturday from 10:30 to 13:30. Bibs could also be collected on race day from 19:00 until half an hour before the start, in the marquee next to the start. There is no expo, but the start area is full of atmosphere. Services: - Chip-timed bib with timing by Chiplevante. - Aid at km 5 and at the finish. - Bag storage next to the start. - Showers at the Camp Municipal d'Esports de Venècia, 60 m from the finish. - Medical service and ambulance at the finish. - Civil liability and accident insurance. - Trophies for the top three overall and the top three local runners. Tips: make the most of the cool night air to run fast, and have a light dinner well in advance. Collect your bib on Friday or Saturday morning to avoid queues. Bib exchange: the rules do not cover a name change or bib change, and giving your bib to someone else leads to disqualification. There are no refunds once you have registered, and no official waiting lists. Alternatives to get a bib: register before mid-April to receive the runner's bag and join the waiting list on Bibready with a bib alert. If the organiser accepts name changes, a bib exchange on Bibready will be possible. FAQ: - When is it?
