In record time, The 10K Ibiza-Platja d’en Bossa has established itself as one of the best road races in Spainaccording to the ranking prepared annually by World Athetics, the highest body of athletes in the world.
After the 2023 academic year, the Ibizan event is in seventh position in the table with 9,410 points: a result that reflects its meteoric trajectory and its great reception in the world of running.
This ranking, which includes races from 10K to Half Marathon, was prepared after evaluating competitive performance, the level of athletes, as well as participation or results obtained, among others.
And that’s it, In just three years, the 10 kilometers of Ibiza became the benchmark and one of the fastest races in the country thanks to its uneven circuit.
A route that stands out for its long straight line at sea level passing through the Ses Salines Natural Park and the tourist enclave of Platja d’en Bossa.
Trial records, by Kenyans Benson Kiplangat (27:18) and Caroline Nyaga (30:48)speak for themselves about how many run the island.

Its 4th edition will be held on Sunday, January 28, 2024 and, to this end, the race will again have a significant cast of elite athletes, as well as a great environment of famous runners.
