Race of Siurell 2025: Sport, solidarity, and a celebrity face bring Mallorcan spirit to Marratxí

The Race of Siurell once again filled Sant Marçal, Marratxí, with an incredible atmosphere of sport, community, and solidarity. Despite the rain, more than 400 enthusiastic participants laced up their trainers and turned the town into a true celebration of togetherness, all in support of ASPANOB, the Balearic association dedicated to helping children with cancer and their families.

Among the runners and supporters was Mario Mola, the world-renowned Mallorcan triathlete, who continues to be a strong advocate for the event. His presence inspired participants of all ages, particularly the youngest runners, to whom he proudly awarded medals to – a heartfelt gesture that perfectly embodied the spirit of motivation, kindness, and community that defines the Race of Siurell.
