The Rialp Town Council officially opened registration this Monday for the 16th edition of Rialp Matxicots, set to take place on September 19-20 in the Pallars Sobirà region.

Organizers have announced a strict limit of 750 participants across all categories. The registration window closes on August 31st, though spots are expected to sell out much earlier due to the high demand for this race in the Vall d'Àssua.
Saturday's schedule features three main distances: the 60km Trail, which climbs peaks over 2,800 meters such as Montsent de Pallars; the 30km Mitja+; and the 15km Popular race. The routes pass through high-value natural areas near the Aigüestortes National Park.
On Sunday, the 13th Rialp Matxixics will host young runners aged 3 to 16. This junior event remains free of charge in exchange for a food donation to the local Pallars Sobirà Food Bank.
