This Sunday, Madrid is preparing for significant traffic and public transport alterations due to the celebration of two sporting events: the XIV Madrid Firefighters Race and the VIII Hemophilia Race, which will affect a total of 41 EMT bus lines.

The XIV Madrid Firefighters Race, starting at Puerta del Sol and finishing at Paseo de Recoletos, will take place between approximately 9:30 AM and 2:15 PM. This sporting event, expected to draw around 4,000 popular runners and a hundred firefighters in their regulation uniforms, will cover 10 kilometers through the city center.
The race route includes iconic locations such as Preciados street, Gran Vía, Alcalá street, and Plaza de Cibeles, continuing along Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo de la Castellana up to Plaza de Cuzco, before returning to Paseo de Recoletos. Traffic closures associated with this event are anticipated between approximately 09:00 AM and 11:00 AM on various main roads, impacting 35 EMT lines.
Concurrently, the VIII Hemophilia Race, organized by ASHEMADRID in collaboration with the Fuencarral-El Pardo Municipal District Board, will be held at Parque Norte de Madrid. This event aims to raise awareness about hemophilia and collect funds for children with congenital coagulopathies, offering routes of 9, 6, and 3 kilometers, in addition to a walk and children's races.
Traffic cuts for the Hemophilia Race are expected to begin around 8:30 AM on streets such as Pedro Rico and Monforte de Lemos avenue. This second sporting event will also affect the itineraries of six EMT bus lines operating in the La Paz neighborhood. The Madrid City Council advises using public transport and avoiding private vehicles in the affected areas.
