Roman Bridge (Puente Romano de Córdoba) features in El cerebro no es gris, a charity race and walking event scheduled for 22 November 2026 in Cordoba, Spain. The route starts and finishes at the Calahorra Tower and crosses the historic centre, including the bridge, the Puerta del Puente and the Ribera.
The event gives visitors a specific reason to expect organised activity around the crossing on 22 November, rather than an ordinary sightseeing day. ASTUCE Spain is presenting the third edition to raise awareness of brain tumours and support research and patients.
El cerebro no es gris crosses Roman Bridge on 22 November
The programme includes a 5 km race, a 5 km popular walk and races for children. The race starts at 10am, while the walking event starts ten minutes later, according to the event announcement. The Torre de la Calahorra serves as both the starting point and the finish.
The organisers have announced the event as open to several kinds of participant, with registration handled through the event platform. The announcement also identifies the Palacio de Orive as the place for collecting race numbers. event details from ASTUCE Spain state that the route passes through the surroundings of the old town and includes Roman Bridge.
Sixteen arches connect the route with Cordoba history
The crossing spans the Guadalquivir beside the Mosque-Cathedral and the Puerta del Puente. Cordoba tourism information dates its first construction to the first century AD, while the structure visible today is mainly medieval and underwent its latest listed changes in 1876.
Roman Bridge has 16 arches, four pointed and the remainder semicircular, and a sixteenth-century statue of San Rafael stands midway along the railing. Those fixed features give the 22 November route a clear relationship with the monument: participants will pass a medieval form of a crossing whose history begins in Roman Cordoba. The city tourism office records the bridge, river, gate and Mosque-Cathedral as one connected urban view. Cordoba tourism information describes the arches, the statue and the bridge's successive rebuilding.
Race route places Calahorra Tower at both ends
The start and finish at the Calahorra Tower place the event on the southern side of the Guadalquivir, with the route then moving through the historic centre. A separate report confirms the 22 November date, the tower as both start and finish, and the participation of runners, walkers and children. regional event coverage also describes the route as following familiar parts of the city.
The event is therefore relevant to visitors planning a crossing on 22 November, even though the bridge itself remains the historic setting rather than the start or finish venue. The announcement names the Puerta del Puente and the Ribera as additional parts of the course.
