Since 1986, the Cursa El Corte Inglés has offered its exceptional capacity for getting news coverage to organizations or civic events of special renown.  Sport Aid - Tot el món corre per Àfrica (1986), Fundación de Ayuda Contra la Drogadicción - Engánchate a la Vida (1990), Intermón (1991), Manos Unidas (1994), FASE, Fundación Anti-Sida España (1995), Creu Roja (1996), Fundació Privada d'Investigació Cardiovascular (1997), la Fundació Internacional Josep Carreras (1998), Unicef - Fondo de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia (1999), Médicos Sin Fronteras (2000), Banc d’Ulls per a tractaments de la ceguesa (2001), Fundació Esclerosi Múltiple (2002) Fundación Vicente Ferrer (2005) Manos Unidas (2006) y el Casal dels Infants del Raval (2007) are the nongovernmental organizations that have had a leading role in previous editions of the event.

The adherence of the event to the Olymic Games and Paralympic Games in 1992 and in the celebration of events such as the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Guardia Urbana police force (1993) and the X World Police and Fire Games (2003) or the Universal Forum of Cultures (2004), are four good examples of this link between the race and the city that hosts it. 

The 30th Cursa El Corte Inglés has strengthened its clearly social facet with it colaboration with the Red Cross.
