1st ContraCursa del Raval

Join the 1st ContraCursa of the Raval: an inclusive, critical, and festive anti-race that invites you to walk, jump, slow run, crawl, or move however you want! The goal? To break the world record for the most people crossing the finish line at the same time. 

Programme: 

• 9:15am meeting point and t-shirt collection
• 10:00am ContraCursa start
• 11:00am arrival at the finish line
• 11:30am end of the party with a Zumba session organized by CEM Can Ricart i Taula de Jardins de Sant Pau.

  
Registered participants will receive an exclusive T-shirt from the 1st ContraCursa del Raval, designed by the creative collective Realmente Bravo and printed by Top Manta. T-shirts can be picked up on the day of the race at the Rambla del Raval. 

This activity is part of the Festa Major del Raval 2025 and is open to all neighbors, with an intergenerational and anti-ableist approach. 

The 1st ContraCursa del Raval is an activity that arises from a collaborative mediation process by the Gremi de Comunicació with the Sant Pau Social Gym, CEM Can Ricart, CEM Colom, and the Ciutat Vella Sports Association. Its aim is to open a space for community connection and health, with a festive atmosphere. It also seeks to question, reflect on, and use humor to address competitiveness and self-demand often linked to races and sports — dynamics that also extend into many areas of contemporary life.
