Palma de Mallorca is the capital of the Balearic Islands, with an urban population of approximately 415,000 residents. Known for its stunning Gothic cathedral and Mediterranean charm, it is a global hub for tourism and maritime activity. The demographic profile is diverse, with approximately 75% Spanish nationals and a significant international community, particularly from Germany, the UK, and Italy. The median household income in Palma is roughly €32,000 EUR. The race route specifically highlights the city's architectural heritage, providing a unique "nocturnal mode" perspective of the narrow streets and grand plazas that define the Balearic capital.
The event is sponsored by Binter, the regional airline, and focuses on "Green Habit" initiatives, such as providing local proximity products at refreshment stations to reduce the carbon footprint. Registration includes a runner's bag and a commemorative BNR Series medal for finishers. For participants traveling from other islands or the mainland, the organization offers specialized travel packages and an official hotel to facilitate the "sports getaway" experience.

Learn more about the host city, Palma de Mallorca.
Palma de Mallorca is the chief city of the island of Mallorca, and the capital of the entire Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. With a population of 423,000 in 2022, it's home to half the people of Mallorca, and in summer feels like it contains half the people of Europe. A swathe of boxy hotels stretches out for 20 km on either side, and its airport is the entry point for all the resorts on the island. Yet for all the modern mediocrity, Palma retains a fine Old Town, with the highlights its cathedral and royal palace.
