Popular races

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria hosts several popular races during the year: LPA Trail (in March), LPA Race (an orienteering race held in September), Binter Night Run (a lively night race in April), the classic San Silvestre on the last day of the year and the Puerto de Las Palmas Half Marathon. The Transgrancanaria, one of the main and most veteran long-distance mountain races on the international calendar, starts in the capital of Gran Canaria and crosses the island.
