Terrassa 2026

Fanny Sallés is Terrassa’s women’s 5 km road race, held in the city in early October. Known also as the Cursa de la dona de Terrassa, it is organized by the Associació Esportiva Mitja Marató de Terrassa. The race emphasizes women’s participation in sport, with a short distance suitable for beginners and experienced runners alike. The course is a central 5 km loop within Terrassa, identified in city information as taking place in Parc dels Catalans. A portion of each entry fee supports the Oncolliga Foundation, providing psychosocial care for individuals affected by cancer and their families. The race was renamed from the Cursa de les Dones to honor Fanny Sallés, Terrassa’s first female sports journalist, who managed sports reporting at Radio Terrassa-Cadena SER and passed away from cancer at age 57.
