The new edition of Marbella 4 Days Walking will take place from October 2 to 5 and will see the participation of nearly 3,000 people. This was announced today by the Director General of Tourism, Laura de Arce, who emphasized that "it is a sporting event that has been held for 14 years, growing and consolidating over time and is very relevant for deseasonalization, as it attracts visitors during a period that marks the beginning of autumn and is perfect for enjoying the climate, nature, and cultural heritage of the city without the summer crowds."

Furthermore, she highlighted that "this year the event is almost a week earlier than last year and we believe it will improve the experience because it avoids coinciding with the Pilar holiday," and pointed out that "growth forecasts are very positive for 2026, as work is underway to expand participation to 5,000 people, reflecting the success of this proposal."

De Arce, who was accompanied by organization representatives Arabella M. Wessels and Maaike Engbersen, specified that the opening will take place on October 1 at Plaza del Mar and will be attended by the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Spain, Roel Nieuwenkamp.

4 Days Walking is an especially female event: 69% of the attendees are women

The program will start on October 2 and will offer three different routes: the green, with an approximate distance of 10 kilometers; the blue, with a route of 20 kilometers, and the lake, with a route of 30 kilometers. Additionally, two 'challenger' circuits are included that take place in mountainous terrains, including the ascent to Juanar Refuge, for more experienced walkers. "These are challenges that attract 3% of the participants, but are highly valued by those who wish to push their own limits and enjoy a unique natural environment," she noted.

She also drew attention to the fact that 69% of the attendees are women, "making 4 Days Walking an especially female gathering." Lastly, she highlighted the involvement of security forces, medical services, and specialized rescue teams "to ensure that the event proceeds smoothly and without any setbacks."

Participants come from 17 countries across Europe, Asia, and America, demonstrating the global reach of the event

Wessels thanked the institutional support and explained that the event, which originated in the Netherlands, "gathers participants from 17 nationalities in the Marbella edition, including walkers from the Netherlands, Germany, France, and a growing number of Spaniards, as well as visitors from diverse places such as Japan or Colombia, demonstrating its significant global projection."

Finally, Engbersen stressed that the organization "relies on a team of more than a hundred people, mostly volunteers, which is essential for carrying out an initiative of this magnitude" and reminded that, in addition to the routes, Plaza del Mar will host gastronomic activities, live music, and dancing as complementary offerings.
