There are few events that capture the spirit of Barcelona quite like the Cursa de la Mercè Global Race. On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the city streets transformed into a massive celebration of endurance, community, and charity. With roughly 16,000 runners tackling the iconic 10K loop, the atmosphere was simply unforgettable.
This year, FiltraBottle didn’t just cheer from the sidelines. We showed up in full force to sweat, hydrate, and celebrate right alongside the city.
A Team United: 22 Strong from All Over Europe
We believe in the power of staying active and hydrated, and we practice what we preach! That’s why our entire team of 22 people flew in from across Europe specifically for this event.
We traded our screens and strategies for running shoes and race bibs. From our brilliant designers and developers to our unstoppable sales team and energetic influencer marketing girls—everyone toed the starting line at Carrer d'Aragó. We ran the full 10 kilometers through the heart of Barcelona, passing landmarks along Passeig de Sant Joan and the Drassanes shipyards, before charging into the spectacular finish at Plaça de Catalunya.
Hydration Station: Proud Sponsors at the Finish Line
Being part of a race with such deep local roots—where registration proceeds support incredible causes and social initiatives—aligns perfectly with our mission at FiltraBottle.
We were incredibly proud to be an official sponsor of the 2026 event. As the ~16,000 runners completed their 10K journey, our team was waiting for them. The Filtra tent at the finish line was buzzing with energy as we handed out free products to help everyone recover. We gave away our signature Filtra Smartbottles and premium Electrolytes completely for free, ensuring the runners could rehydrate efficiently and celebrate their peak performance.
