The Montjuic Stadium, where the Barcelona Ekiden finished

The Barcelona International Women's Ekiden (Japanese: 年 バルセロナ国際女子駅伝, Spanish: Ekiden de la Barcelona), also known as the Kagome International Women's Ekiden or the Barcelona Ekiden, was an international women's ekiden (marathon relay race) held on New Year's Eve in Barcelona in 1989, 1990, and 1991.

The competition was initiated in 1989. It was viewed by some as a way to prepare for the 1992 Summer Olympics also held in Barcelona – it ended at the Montjuic Stadium which was also the venue for athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics. The travel for international teams was paid for by the Japanese organizers.[1]

The course record of 2:13:59 hours was set by the Soviet Union in 1991.[2]
