15K Nocturna Valencia 2026

The 15K Nocturna Valencia sets off on Saturday 26 September at 22:30 from Avinguda de l'Enginyer Manuel Soto, with entry fees starting at €15. According to the organisers, it is the fastest 15K in Spain and the only race in the world over this distance with World Athletics' Silver Label, run on a course that is 100% urban, flat, and certified by the RFEA. The announcement does not give the exact elevation gain of the route or the total number of bibs planned for this edition.

Route through the centre

The course passes Mestalla, Calle de la Paz, Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, whose complex includes structures such as the Oceanogràfic. Since this is a night race with likely traffic closures on several streets in the centre for much of Saturday night, anyone not taking part who needs to get around the city that night can check the guide to getting around Valencia beforehand to plan an alternative route or allow extra time.

The race is organised as part of the same set of benchmark city road races, alongside other events such as the Maratón Valencia Trinidad Alfonso, albeit at a very different scale and distance. The announcement does not give the finish point or estimated finish time, the number of bibs available, or the full kilometre-by-kilometre route, details that only appear on the race's official website and are worth checking before signing up, along with the conditions for bib refunds should someone ultimately be unable to take part.
