What it is
Odd contests and races in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain.
Dates
No dates have been published yet. These are expected from the pattern of past years.
How we estimated this: Two prior editions both ran in August as two three-day cycles: the 180th (5-7 and 19-21 August) and the 181st (8-10 and 21-23 August, though one news report gives 20-22 for the second cycle). Exact dates are set each year by the tides, so no 2027 dates can be derived.

How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against carrerassanlucar.es. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official site is current and describes the races as running since 1845; the 181st edition ran in August 2026, but no 2027 dates are published, so the next edition is only expected from a two-cycle August pattern, and news sources disagree on the 2026 second-cycle dates.
