The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) unveils Palma's new seafront promenade with the first APB Charity Run on 15 and 16 November 2025. The initiative is intended to be ongoing and has two objectives, namely to promote physical activity in an iconic setting in Palma and to support a charitable cause.
The sporting and family weekend will begin on Saturday, 15 November, with a fair featuring exhibitors from entities and organisations linked to sport, health and charitable causes in the Plaza de Sant Domingo de la Calzada. There will also be free sports activities for all ages and fun activities for children from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Race numbers and T-shirts for Sunday's races will also be collected on the same day.
On Sunday 16th, from 9.30 a.m., the sports day will begin with a joint warm-up and at 10am, the APB 10km Charity Run, aimed at people over 14 years of age, will get underway. The route will allow the participants to discover the Ponent-Paraires quays, an area of the port which is usually closed to the public and which, for the first time, will be open to runners. Starting at 11 a.m., the children's races will take place, with routes adapted to each age group, and at 12 noon, the 4 km race and the 4km Fun Walk will take place, open to everyone.
The president of the APB, Javier Sanz, emphasised that “all activities will be free of charge, although those who wish to run competitively may make a symbolic financial contribution. All proceeds from this first edition will go entirely to Projecte Home Balears, an organisation committed to the care and reintegration of people with drug addiction problems”.
Solidarity fundraising
All proceeds from registration for the 10 km and 4 km races in this first edition, which costs €10, will go entirely to Projecte Home Balears, an organisation committed to caring for and reintegrating people with drug addiction problems. While the walk and children's races are free and non-competitive. At the end, all participants will receive a commemorative medal and a piece of fruit.
The event is also intended to be a reflection of the commitment to sustainability. A drinking water station will be set up so that runners can use reusable bottles to reduce the use of single-use plastics.
Registration is now available on the EliteChip website and race bibs must be collected on Saturday 15 November at the Plaza de Sant Domingo de la Calzada.
