About the race
The Carrera Solidaria Niños Sin Cáncer is the flagship yearly event of Fundación OC (Oscar Contigo), set up by the parents of Oscar, a boy who died of medulloblastoma. It takes place in Valdemorillo in late September, around the International Day of Cancer Research, and every euro raised goes to paediatric cancer research.
It is not a competitive race: there is no timing and no results, and what counts is how much each participant raises. From the Colegio Público Juan Falcó you can run 5 km or 10 km, the latter being two laps of a 5 km circuit through village streets and the surrounding paths, or do 5 km of Nordic walking. There is a drinks station halfway round the lap and at the finish.
It is really a family festival: kids' races from 30 to 750 metres, live music, magic shows, children's activities and a charity paella for everyone registered. A great choice for a pressure-free run with family or workmates.

Getting there
Start
Colegio Público Juan Falcó (avenida de Segovia, 1), Valdemorillo
Parking
Parking provided by the town council on a plot opposite the Guardia Civil barracks (calle San Juan, 77). Parking near the start is limited, so it is best to leave the car further away and walk in.
Getting there
Interurban buses 641 and 642 from Madrid (Moncloa) and 630 from Collado Villalba stop at Eras Cerradas – Cementerio, close to the start. Valdemorillo has no train station.
All proceeds fund childhood cancer research backed by Fundación OC, such as clinical trials for children with relapsed tumours and personalised medicine.
Notes
Non-competitive event: no timing and no results. On-site registration on race day from 9:00 to 10:30.
