MotoGP™ can now confirm that the 2024 curtain-raiser will take place in Barcelona. We return to the Sector de Barcelona-Catalonia where the World Championship will be decided, on the last days of the season from the 15th to the 17th of November. The Great Run is organized in partnership with the Community of Valencia.
The event was decided to take place in Valencia before the floods that have already affected the region. As the last Grand Prix of the season, we owe it to our fans, the paddock, the sport and Valencia to host the event, given the sporting context of the championship and the positive impact the event is having.
Instead of racing in Valencia, MotoGP™ runs for Valencia. To all those affected and to the entire community of Valencia.
MotoGP™ has submitted a request to the authorities to compete in Barcelona because it is the best choice. The track is the easiest option for fans who have already booked to attend the end of the MotoGP™ season. The location and circuit is also a very efficient choice, offering a seamless option for staffing and logistics.
The event is organized by MotoGP™ and we are committed to our mission to have a positive impact on people, places and the planet wherever we compete. In this case, running near the community of Valencia allows Paddock to apply that more directly.
More information will be shared as soon as possible for fans who want to attend to see the 2024 title fight decider, as well as various initiatives to support the relief of Valencia over the weekend.
