Sport and tradition will come together at the I Tostón Popular Race in Marbella

Sport and tradition will join hands in the first edition of the Tostón 2025 Popular Race, an event organized by the City Council that will be held on Saturday, November 1. The race, starting at 11:00 AM from the Mediterranean Park and finishing at Nagüeles Park, will cover an approximate distance of 8 kilometers. Councilor Lisandro Vieytes presented the initiative and explained that registration for those over 14 years old is free up to a maximum of 300 participants.

"It is born with the intention of establishing itself in the coming years as a benchmark event, contributing to keeping the Day of the Tostón alive, one of our most cherished local customs," said the councilor, who also emphasized the importance "of promoting healthy habits among the citizens and fostering coexistence" between neighbors and visitors. "The goal of the Sports delegation is to promote, in addition to large events, new popular initiatives so that citizens can enjoy practicing various disciplines throughout the year," Vieytes pointed out.

The councilor indicated that the route of the competition, about eight kilometers long, will pass through some of the most emblematic sites of the city, including the Maritime Promenade, Camilo José Cela Street, and the avenues Ricardo Soriano, Don Jaime de Mora, and Buchinger until reaching Nagüeles Park, "where participants will be able to enjoy the activities organized by the Festivities delegation on the occasion of the Day of the Tostón."

Bib collection for the race will take place on the day of the event, between 09:00 and 10:30 AM, at the Mediterranean Park. All runners will receive a commemorative gift of this first edition, while prizes will be awarded to the first three male and female finishers.
