Cursa Es Baluards returns to Ibiza's historic centre

The Cursa Es Baluards combines popular running with the historic setting of Dalt Vila. The main event covers approximately 5.5 kilometres, with participants completing two laps of a circuit starting and finishing at Passeig de Vara de Rey.

The event is organised by Club Atletisme Pitiús in collaboration with the Ayuntamiento de Eivissa, with proceeds from the main race benefiting AEMIF.

With temporary restrictions affecting several central streets and historic areas, residents and visitors are encouraged to take the traffic measures into account when planning their movements around Ibiza Town on Saturday afternoon.
