X-Madrid turns May into a party with La Milla Friki, an obstacle race where dressing up is compulsory
La Milla Friki will be held on 9 May at X-Madrid with a 1.6-kilometre course, obstacles, a family atmosphere and a charitable purpose in support of the Asociación Madrileña Contra el Acoso Escolar, with registration open until 4 May or until race numbers sell out.
X-Madrid hosts an obstacle race where costumes are compulsory. Milla Friki brings together families, sport and solidarity. Registration is open until 4 May or until race numbers sell out. The event supports the fight against bullying.
This May, X-Madrid becomes the setting for one of the most original fixtures on the urban calendar: La Milla Friki. The race, already a tradition among those seeking different plans in the city, invites local residents of all ages to cover 1.6 kilometres packed with obstacles and surprises, always in costume and eager to have fun.
The proposal stands out for its family atmosphere and inclusive nature. There is no age limit or physical requirement: everyone from children in pushchairs to adults willing to laugh at themselves can take part. The only requirement is to arrive in costume, turning the route into an improvised parade where creativity rules. In addition, all proceeds go to Asociación Madrileña Contra el Acoso Escolar (AMACAE), adding a charitable element to the fun.
Registration, at the symbolic price of 2 euros, is already open and will remain so until 4 May or until the 1,500 available race numbers sell out. The event will take place on Saturday 9 May from 11:30, with staggered starts to avoid crowds and make it easier for everyone to enjoy the route both inside and outside the shopping centre.
For those looking for new ways to get moving and enjoy the outdoors in Madrid, La Milla Friki is only one of the options. The city offers routes along former railway lines, cycling circuits, skating areas and calisthenics parks spread across its neighbourhoods. Options which, like this race, encourage people to get out, share and rediscover the city from another perspective.
X-Madrid, in Alcorcón, has established itself as a space that goes beyond traditional shopping. Its commitment to cultural, sporting and alternative leisure activities has made it a meeting point for those seeking different experiences without leaving the city. Events such as La Milla Friki reinforce its role as a driving force for proposals that connect with the real pulse of Madrid and its metropolitan area.
