Retiro Running Bringing Madrid Together One Stride at a Time
Retiro Running was born in Madrid in 2021 when founder Manuel envisioned a running space built around friendship, not performance. From day one, the iconic El Retiro Park became its natural home. Today, with runners from more than 64 countries, Retiro Running is one of Madrid's most diverse crews, welcoming and genuinely warm. The philosophy is simple: the run matters less than who you share it with. Community, diversity, and human connection drive everything this crew does. They meet at Puerta de la Independencia on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with paces ranging from 4:50 to 6:30 min/km, so every runner finds their group and their stride.
