A thousand children will participate in the cross-country race of the Marbella School Sports Games

The Marbella City Council has organized a new edition of the school sports cross-country event, which will gather from November 11 to 13 around a thousand primary and secondary school students at Nagüeles Park. The activity will take place over three days from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM: on Tuesday the 11th, third and fourth grade primary school students (benjamín category) will participate; on Wednesday the 12th, fifth and sixth grade primary students (alevín category) will take their turn, and on Thursday the 13th, first and second year secondary school students (infantil category) will compete.

The main goal of the initiative is to promote the practice of athletics in a fun way, encourage healthy lifestyle habits from an early age, and raise awareness about the use of natural spaces as environments for physical activity. Additionally, the event allows for the application of knowledge about physical fitness acquired in class in a real-world setting. In total, 20 educational centers from the municipal area will participate, with a maximum of 50 students per school, and the City Council has arranged a free school transportation service to facilitate their attendance.
