The AECC 'Pink Tide' race will tour Marbella on November 16 with the support of the City Council.

The Marbella City Council has once again supported the 'Pink Tide' race organized by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), which on the upcoming November 16th will take place in the city to support individuals suffering from breast cancer. The Councilor for Social Rights, Isabel Cintado, participated today in the event's presentation alongside the president of the organization, Santiago Gómez-Villares, and expressed gratitude towards the group for their daily efforts in assisting patients and their families through various campaigns and programs. "I want to call for participation because it is an activity that symbolizes solidarity and hope for life," she noted.

For his part, Gómez-Villares recalled that the race, which celebrates its thirteenth anniversary and expects to surpass 3,000 participants, "has always been a family-friendly and festive activity, aimed at fighting this type of cancer and raising awareness in society about the importance of prevention of this tumor through sports practice." "This year, following the national campaign whose slogan is 'We take it seriously,' we aim to truly connect with the realities of those diagnosed, sharing what the disease and treatment mean for them and their environment," he stated.

The entry fee is 12 euros, and all registered participants will have accident insurance and a commemorative t-shirt, which will be available for collection at the Marbella headquarters from 9.00 to 14.00 hours and during the event week, continuously from 9.00 to 19.00 hours.

Event Schedule

The meeting point will be from 11.00 hours at the association's headquarters, located at Avenida del Mar, number 5, where participants can engage in a functional warm-up led by a personal trainer. The race will start at 12.00 hours, and various routes are being considered depending on the location of the closing festivities, as the Adolfo Suárez Fair and Congress Palace has been ruled out due to ongoing renovation works.

All funds raised will be allocated to support and care programs for people affected by this type of cancer in Marbella. The president of the association also presented the latest data from the Cancer Observatory in Málaga, where 1,283 cases of breast cancer were detected in 2024, making it the second highest incidence in the Andalusian province and the sixth in Spain, following Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, and Sevilla.
