Los Montesinos 5K and 10K race takes stand against gender-based violence

Runners and walkers will take to the streets of Los Montesinos on Sunday, November 22, for a sporting event carrying an important message. The municipality’s 15th 5K, 10K and Solidarity Walk will combine races for different abilities with a campaign against gender-based violence, while children’s events and the traditional giant tortilla will add to the community atmosphere.

Runners can choose 5K or 10K

Starting at 10:00 AM, the event will offer a 5km race over one circuit, a 10km race covering two laps and a 5km solidarity walk for those who prefer to take part at a gentler pace.

Free children’s races will follow the 10km event, giving younger participants the chance to join the day’s activities.

The start and finish line will be in Plaza del Ayuntamiento on Avenida de la Marquesa, placing the centre of Los Montesinos at the heart of the event.

Registration costs €13 with places limited

The combination of competitive races, the solidarity walk and children’s events means people of different ages and fitness levels will be able to get involved during the morning.
