OUR CLUB
Currently, the club has experienced exponential growth, comfortably surpassing 100 athletes. It brings together runners, recreational athletes, civil service exam candidates, federated athletes and, of course, the youngest members through our Running Villarejo Athletics School, a training space where children and teenagers can get started in athletics, improve their technique, and develop healthy sports habits from an early age. Our club is open to all kinds of people, regardless of their level, offering an inclusive and motivating environment to begin or progress within the sport of athletics.
The RUNNING VILLAREJO Athletics Club was founded on October 1, 1993, with the aim of promoting and developing various athletic disciplines, encouraging their practice among members and residents of Villarejo de Salvanés, and participating in non-profit sporting competitions.
After a successful beginning in its first stage, the club experienced a few years of reduced activity until 2012, when —thanks to the boom in popular races— the association was reorganized again, driven by an enthusiastic group of local runners.
Another factor that defines us is our ability to organize major sporting events which, in addition to promoting physical activity, help to spread the image of Villarejo de Salvanés and of our partner companies both locally and across different parts of the country.
Our flagship races are:
