Sports in Seville
Staying fit has never been so easy in Seville as it is now. With the 1990’s came a craze for fitness that led to the opening of gyms and fitness centers in unprecedented numbers. In addition to the traditional weight-lifting and aerobic dancing, more “exotic” forms of sport, such as Taekwondo, Taichi or Kick-Boxing entered mainstream fitness and have become so widespread they are no longer considered exotic. Most ICS students sign up with a gym, enroll in an athletic program, or participate in some sport activity during the semester. The following is a sample of some of the many facilities available in town.

Sevilla Running Club
Seville is an ideal city for joining an outdoor running club thanks to its sunny climate, flat terrain, and scenic routes. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, runners can enjoy consistent training weather. The city’s riverside paths, historic parks like María Luisa, and traffic-free zones in the old town offer both beauty and practicality. Plus, Seville’s vibrant outdoor culture and active community make it easy to find motivation and running partners year-round.
