Over 800 runners of all ages will gather on October 12th, starting at 10:00 AM at the San Pedro seafront, for the 29th edition of the San Pedro Alcántara Urban Race. The council member for this area, Lisandro Vieytes, highlighted during the presentation the work done by the San Pedro Athletics Club, the organizer of the event, and emphasized that the goal of the race is "not only competition, but also to enjoy a pleasant sports moment".

The council member, who was accompanied by the deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier García, and the president of the club, Antonio García, pointed out that the City Council "collaborates with the organization at a logistical level and with the provision of materials" and encouraged local residents to participate in this event, "which confirms San Pedro as a benchmark in hosting sports events".

For his part, the deputy mayor of San Pedro, who recalled that it is "a well-established popular race", stressed that it "reflects the constant work of the club and the passion for athletics in the city". The competition, included in the sports activities for the San Pedro Fair and Festivities, will pay tribute to Julio García Cruz, the founding president of the club who passed away in 2015, and will be contested in 18 male and female categories with different distances adapted to each category.

He also referred to the charitable nature of the race, which will feature a bar organized by the Arama Association of Marbella and a collection of used shoes for the Luna Blanca Association, which allocates them to projects in Senegal.
