The Women's Race is, above all, a women's sporting event.
It was born in 2004, when the presence of women in popular races in Spain did not reach 7%. It was created as a space exclusively for women and was the first event on the popular race calendar that allowed participation by walking, so that women who had never pinned on a race bib could take that first step.
Since then, more than 1,600,000 women have joined the Race to run, walk, cross a finish line and share a collective experience. Today, female participation in popular races is close to 40%, and the Women's Race is a national circuit present in 9 cities and one of the largest women's sports participation platforms in Europe.
Our main purpose remains the same: to promote running, aerobic exercise, healthy habits and the participation of women of all ages in grassroots sport.
Alongside this sporting purpose, the Race has maintained since its first editions a stable social commitment to causes linked to women, health, research, equality, inclusion and the response to situations of vulnerability or emergency.
This page distinguishes between three types of information:
Includes information specific to the race series: host cities, participants, race bibs, registration income, charitable contributions linked to the Race, beneficiary organizations and type of collaboration carried out.
Includes direct financial contributions and other forms of support provided or valued by the Women's Race: charity race bibs or donated entries, provision of spaces, setup of stands, social merchandising projects, awareness actions and visibility campaigns.
Each collaboration is identified according to its nature so that it can be clearly understood which part corresponds to a direct financial contribution and which part corresponds to other forms of support.
The Women's Race is organized by Sport Life Ibérica.
Sport Life Ibérica carries out different activities in the fields of sport, communication, editorial content and sports event organization. For this reason, the audited accounts published on this page correspond to Sport Life Ibérica as a whole as the organizing company, not to an isolated profit and loss account of the Women's Race.
We publish this information to provide a clear, organized and verifiable reading: what the Race is, what it contributes, which organizations it supports, how it classifies its contributions and which documentation corresponds to the company that organizes the race series.
The Women's Race is a women's sports race series held every year in different cities across Spain.
Its objective is to promote sports participation among women of all ages, encourage healthy lifestyles, build community and give visibility to social causes related to women.
The Race is also a space for collective participation. Many women approach running or a popular race for the first time through the Women's Race. Others take part to share the experience with family members, friends, colleagues, associations or social organizations.
This sporting and participatory nature is the foundation of the project.
The Women's Race has incorporated a lasting social commitment since its first editions.
Each year, this commitment takes shape through financial contributions, collaborations with organizations, charity race bibs, visibility spaces, awareness campaigns and projects linked to causes affecting women and their environment.
In 2025, the charitable contributions of the Women's Race amounted to €264,967, equivalent to 20% of the race series registration income.
This commitment is implemented through prior agreements with national and local organizations linked to the different areas of impact of the Race.
The 20% is calculated based on the registration income of the Women's Race.
The registration income of the Women's Race represents part of the total budget required to organize the race series. The actual production cost of the event in each city (logistics, permits, insurance, staff, infrastructure, medical services, security, setup and dismantling) exceeds the income generated by registrations. The 20% charitable contribution is reserved in advance for each edition, as a structural part of the project.
This means that the 20% allocated to charitable contributions does not come from a surplus or profit, but from an organizational decision that has been part of the Race model since its first editions.
This percentage is allocated to social causes through different types of collaboration:
| Type of collaboration | What it means |
|---|---|
| Direct financial contribution | Amount transferred or financially committed to a beneficiary entity. |
| Charity race bibs | Race bibs whose proceeds are allocated entirely to a specific entity or cause. |
| Donated race bibs | Entries provided by the organisation to women or groups linked to social entities. |
| Provision of spaces and stands | Spaces, setup or presence at fairs, finish areas or other Race environments, economically valued. |
| Social merchandising | Products or projects linked to social entities, whose production, sale or profits support a specific cause. |
| Awareness campaigns | Communication, visibility and awareness actions promoted through the Race channels. |
When a collaboration is not a direct financial contribution, it is expressly identified as such.
The Women’s Race collaborates with entities and projects in five areas linked to women: health and research, equality and rights, inclusion and refuge, emergency and cooperation, and awareness and visibility.
Over more than two decades, this map of causes has grown: from health and medical research to the prevention of gender-based violence, the inclusion of women in vulnerable situations, support for refugee women, disability, social integration and emergency response.
In 2025, the Race collaborated with more than 40 entities from the five areas across the 9 cities of the circuit.
We support entities working in research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and support regarding cancer and other diseases affecting women and their environment.
Among the supported entities and projects are organisations such as the Spanish Association Against Cancer, GEICAM, Spanish Metastatic Breast Cancer Association, Sandra Ibarra Foundation, ASAMMA, AMAMA, AMAC-GEMA, Galbán, Pulseras Rosas and other national and local entities.
We support projects working for the defence of women’s rights, the prevention of gender-based violence, the fight against trafficking, female genital mutilation, child marriage and other forms of violence and discrimination.
Among the supported entities and projects are Wanawake Mujer, Asociación Clara Campoamor, Alanna, Proyecto Esperanza, Fundación Ana Bella, Fundación Amaranta and other specialised entities.
For more than a decade, all Women’s Race participants have worn the number 016 on their race bib, the helpline number for victims of gender violence.
Each edition of the circuit places 016 on the chest of more than 100,000 women, on the streets of 9 cities, in broadcasts, photographs and social media.
It is one of the most visible awareness actions in Spanish grassroots sport.
We support initiatives aimed at refugee women, women in vulnerable situations, people with disabilities, groups at risk of exclusion and social integration projects.
Among the supported entities and projects are UNHCR, CEAR, Red Cross, ACADAR, A LA PAR Foundation, ASOCIDE, Federico Ozanam Foundation, ATADES and other social organisations.
We also support projects linked to situations of social emergency, cooperation, humanitarian aid and community recovery.
This area includes collaborations with entities such as Fundació Horta Sud, Oxfam Intermón and local projects linked to the circuit cities.
In addition to financial or valued contributions, the Women’s Race functions as a visibility platform for social causes.
Through bib number 016, the SportWoman expos, the +SolidariAs initiative, the campaigns on its own channels and the communication actions in each city, the Race contributes to raising awareness about health, equality, violence against women, inclusion and rights.
These actions are not always included in the total financial contributions, except when they have an identified valuation.
The Women's Race also publishes the data for the ongoing circuit, which are updated after each race held.
The complete table allows consultation of collaborations by year, city, organization, cause area, type of support and amount. To facilitate clear reading, we differentiate contributions according to their nature.
These are amounts transferred or financially committed to a beneficiary organization.
Example: contributions to research, prevention, support, women's rights or social emergency organizations.
These are bibs whose proceeds are allocated entirely to a specific organization or project.
In these cases, the contribution comes from the charity registration made by the participant and is identified separately in the table.
These are bibs provided by the organization to facilitate the participation of women or groups linked to social organizations.
Their value is identified as an in-kind contribution or valuation, not as a direct financial transfer to the organization.
These are spaces, setups or presences provided to organizations at the expo, finish area or other event spaces.
Their economic value is identified as stand allocation or setup, not as a monetary donation.
Since 2017, the Women's Race has developed its own social merchandising project, «More Than A Doll», aimed at raising awareness about the different forms of violence affecting women and girls and promoting the social and labor inclusion of women survivors of violence, including trafficking for exploitation purposes.
In collaboration with Wanawake Mujer and the Fundación Solidaridad Amaranta, the project has been continuously coordinated with 10 social organizations from 8 cities (Valencia, Madrid, Vitoria, Gijón, A Coruña, Seville, Zaragoza and Barcelona) and has enabled the hiring of more than 40 women for sewing and customer service work at the stands, facilitating a first work experience and the acquisition of professional skills.
To date, more than 12,800 cloth dolls have been sold, a collection that incorporates a new model each year. The project is completed with 5,000 papertoys and 8 illustrated stories aimed at children, focused on promoting equality and the visibility of women in sport.
In the 2026 edition, together with the dolls, other items made with Wanawake Mujer and organizations such as Fundación Isabel Martín are offered, available here.
These are communication, public presence and outreach actions carried out by the Race to give visibility to social causes.
When these campaigns do not have a specific economic valuation, they are described as visibility impact and are not added to the total valued contributions.
The Carrera de la Mujer publishes an annual history of its charitable contributions.
| Year | Registered participants | Total charitable contributions | Main areas supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 106,258 | 264,967 € | Health, cancer, rights, equality, inclusion, emergency |
| Cumulative history | More than 1,600,000 participants since 2004 | More than 2,000,000 € | Health, research, equality, inclusion and community |
The Carrera de la Mujer is a women's sporting event with an ongoing social commitment.
Its main purpose is to promote sport, health and women's participation. In addition, since its first editions, it has allocated part of its registration income and developed support initiatives for social, scientific and local organizations.
In 2025, the Carrera de la Mujer allocated to charitable contributions the equivalent of 20% of the circuit's registration income.
That percentage is calculated based on the race registration income, not on the total turnover of Sport Life Ibérica.
Contributions are classified according to their nature.
Some are direct financial contributions. Others correspond to charity race bibs, donated race bibs, space allocation, stand setup, social merchandising or awareness campaigns.
For this reason, in the transparency table each collaboration identifies the type of support provided.
Because they are also forms of support that have value for the organizations or beneficiary groups.
To avoid confusion, these collaborations are shown separately from direct financial contributions and are described as allocation, valuation, donated race bib, social merchandising or another specific modality.
The Carrera de la Mujer supports five areas of causes linked to women: health and research, equality and rights, inclusion and refuge, emergency and cooperation, and awareness and visibility.
Within the health area, the fight against breast cancer is one of the most consistent lines of collaboration since the first editions of the circuit and remains a central part of our commitment. But it coexists with dozens of organizations and projects dedicated to preventing gender violence, fighting trafficking, integrating refugee women, including people with disabilities, medical research, international cooperation and emergency response.
In 2025, the Race collaborated with more than 40 organizations from the five areas across the 9 cities of the circuit.
The published audited accounts correspond to Sport Life Ibérica, the company organizing the Carrera de la Mujer.
Sport Life Ibérica carries out other activities in addition to the Carrera de la Mujer, such as editorial content, digital products and other sporting events. For that reason, its accounts reflect the company as a whole.
The specific data of the Carrera de la Mujer are presented on this page in the sections on participants, registration income, charitable contributions, beneficiary organizations and types of collaborations.
Because Sport Life Ibérica is the company organizing the Carrera de la Mujer and its accounts are public, filed in the Commercial Registry and audited by external firms.
Publishing them on this page makes it possible to offer context about the entity that organizes the circuit, distinguishing that corporate information from the specific data of the Carrera de la Mujer.
The Women's Race is organized by Sport Life Ibérica.
