Since 2007, La Sansi has been dedicated to promoting sport and organising sporting events. We currently manage 16 races in Catalonia, both at a popular and international level, with around 55.000 participants per year. We also organise races and training sessions for companies.
La Sansi has been the technical director of the Cursa La Mercè in Barcelona for 11 years (16.000 participants are expected in September), and since 2014 has been the organiser of the Cursa dels Nassos in Barcelona (more than 13.000 participants are expected on 31 December), where in the last 4 years 4 world records for 5 km have been broken in the men's and women's categories, still in force, and the European record for men.
In 2024, La Sansi presented the European project HOST4ALL, being one of the 4 European organisations and the only Spanish one, that the European Commission awarded for carrying out a project for major sporting events at European level.
La Sansi has a database with emails from more than 50.000 athletes, and apart from the events.
In January 2024, the World Athletics (International Federation) ranking was published, and the Cursa dels Nassos organised by La Sansi was the best women's race of the year in the world, among the more than 300 international races on its international calendar.
In 2020 and in the midst of the pandemic, we organised different events, such as the Lloretrail (the first race in Spain to present a prevention plan against Covid-19 and the first authorised by the Federation), or the 42nd Cursa de la Mercè, the race with the most participants in a pandemic with 3,000 bibs sold out. Of the only three San Silvestres that were organized in Spain in 2020, La Sansi was involved in the organization of 2: The 41st San Silvestre de El Masnou (it sold out its 900 bibs in 2 days), and the Cursa dels Nassos (1.200 bibs sold out in 54 minutes).
The Cursa de la Mercè of 2021 with 6.000 bibs sold out, was the first major race in Spain during the pandemic.
In December 2024 we are organizing 4 races with 18.000 bibs sold out, La Sansi de Viladecans (Catalan championship), the 45th San Silvestre del Masnou which is the oldest in Catalonia and which broke the record of entrants by selling out more than 2,400 bibs, the 1st Santa Claus race in Barcelona with more than 3.000 bibs sold out, and the Cursa dels Nassos in Barcelona with more than 12.000 bibs sold out in the 10km with a great parallel international 5km race with a world record by the double Olympic champion Beatrice Chebet, the first woman in history to go under 14 minutes.
Our next race will be on April 6 at the Lloretrail, which in 2023 was the Spanish Trail Running championship, and in this edition it will be the Catalan championship.
