Barcelona Buff Epic Run 2011

Crazy & Funny race

The city’s most congenial annual race, amazing participants and the public alike, is back, kicking off at Montjuïc Castle at 11 am this Sunday 18 December.

And that is because the Buff Epic Run, an extreme obstacle race, leaves no-one unmoved, with its perfect combination of sport and laughter. An 8-km route that includes mud and foam swimming pools, tyre mountains, straw walls, rope mazes and other surprising obstacles. All that plus music and a big sausage fest.

Once again, it will be offering highly original prizes: from the oldest participant to the runner who travelled furthest to take part, as well as prizes for best group or individual fancy dress, given that fancy dress earns you points on this run.

What is more, for the second consecutive year, there will be a run specially devised for participants between the ages of 13 and 16, the Mini Buff Epic Run, which covers 1.5 km and sets off at 11.10 am.

There are fewer than 200 places left and the registration period closes today, 15 December.

You can still sign up for it, but places are limited. Enrolments can be made until December, 17th. 

Here you can see the official videoclip of 2008 Edition:

There are lots of prizes for the adult race and these are varied and highly original, and those taking part on the race in fancy dress will have also some extra points. Awards will go for the most capable in overcoming obstacles, in men’s and women’s categories; for the person who has come the furthest to take part; and for the oldest and youngest participants; prizes for the best fancy dresses, as an individual and in a group; the largest fancy-dressed group, the most original fancy-dressed group, etc…
