On Saturday 18th May 2024, the promenade in front of Sunset Beach Club in Benalmádena will become the meeting point for another edition of the Cudeca Walkathon. 

Every year, we here at Sunset Beach Club provide our unconditional support to this fantastic event which aims to raise awareness for the incredible work the Cudeca Foundation does for Cancer patients here on the Costa del Sol. The funds raised during the Walkathon also allow for the continued palliative care the Cudeca Hospice offers to more than 1400 cancer patients and their families free of charge.

If you are planning on taking part in the event, this year’s Walkathon will have 2 different routes to choose from (see map below):

1)      For all you fitness buffs and sports fanatics… the 10km route takes you on a more hilly adventure as well as along the beach:  Starts at 10:30 am.

2)      If you enjoy a good brisk walk, the 5km route is a perfect choice; taking you along the promenade and along the beach, it starts at 11:30 am.

This year’s highlight will once again be the Holi Colored Party, an Indian tradition which consists of throwing coloured powder at each other, symbolising the arrival of spring and the gorgeous colours that come with it. This fun event takes place at 1:00pm and is for kids and adolescents. The kid’s registration fee includes a Holi Run colour bag!

Don’t forget to ask your friends and family to join you or get them to, at least, sponsor you for every kilometre walked, every little bit helps!

There’s also a special link available for non-attendance donations for all those people who would like to help out but cannot make it on the day.
