Perrotón Madrid 2026 Nicka Run XV Aniversario

The Perrotón Madrid 2026 Nicka Run, marking its fifteenth year as the premier solidarity race for animal welfare in Spain and Europe, is set to take place on October 17, 2026. With actress and singer Alejandra Botto serving as an ambassador and Her Majesty Queen Sofía presiding over the event, this run highlights a powerful message against animal abandonment and cruelty.
Organized under the patronage of Madrid's City Council, the Community of Madrid’s Department for Environment, Agriculture and Interior Affairs, and the Official College of Veterinarians in Madrid, Perrotón is dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership through public awareness campaigns. This year's event will again see participants gather at the La Zarzuela Racecourse in Madrid, where runners are invited to join their canine companions on a 4.5-kilometer route that winds through scenic pathways and lush greenery.
Over its history, Perrotón has welcomed more than 59,000 dogs and their owners who have come together for this unique experience aimed at supporting animal welfare initiatives. The race is not just about the run; it's a celebration of the bond between humans and their pets while raising funds that will be directed towards various campaigns focused on sterilization, castration, and disease prevention efforts in shelters with limited resources.
The event promises an engaging atmosphere filled with activities for both dogs and owners alike. Participants can look forward to enjoying the beautiful surroundings at La Zarzuela Racecourse as they contribute to a cause close to many hearts. The Perrotón Madrid 2026 Nicka Run is more than just a race; it’s a movement that brings communities together in support of our furry friends.
Registration fees for this event will see 30% donated directly to the non-profit organization, Perrotón, which works tirelessly towards improving animal welfare. Join thousands who have already made their mark by running with their pets and be part of an initiative dedicated to fostering a more compassionate world for animals in need.
