→ Tour Description
"Faster, Higher, Stronger!" - The Olympic motto will guide us over the Montjuic hill. But don't worry! We will discover this fantastic place in a more relaxed way without breaking records.
This city hill was already part of Barcelona's history during the founding years about 2000 years ago, when a little fishermen settlement was located on the other side of this 176m high hill. While running you will discover why the name Montjuïc was given to this hill, why the fortress is a symbol for suppression and resistance of the Catalan people. But also a place for unforgettable views over the sea while running along the walls of this mighty castle.
The Olympic Park, stadium and venues will be another highlight of this running tour. The Games 1992 changed the city completely and we will see where athletes enjoyed two weeks of competition and being one sports family. Many interesting stories about the ceremony and the concept, which changed all future Olympic Games.
On the 10K tour distance option we will run also through the Teatre Grec park, an amphitheater, before we return to the World Fair center of 1929, Palau Nacional and the Magic Fountain where we also find a milestone of modern architecture - do you like to know which one?
Join us over the Montjuïc Hill.
