This is the X Holiday World Half Marathon in Benalmádena

Once again, the Holiday World Resort complex is organizing a half marathon through the streets of Benalmádena, benefiting, as always, Proyecto Hombre. This year's edition, which is special as it marks the 10th anniversary, will be held on Sunday, November 23, and will gather 2,000 runners in a sporting and charitable event benefiting the C.E.S.M.A.-Proyecto Hombre Málaga Foundation, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The race will offer three courses of 5, 10, and 21 kilometers to accommodate all types of runners, starting and finishing at the iconic Elephants roundabout, one of the symbols of Holiday World. The registration fees are tailored to each type of course: €18 for adults and €7 for children participating in the 5 km race; €20 for adults and €10 for children in the 10 km race; and €30 for runners in the 21 km half marathon. Registration includes a bib and chip, insurance, official t-shirt, backpack, a bag for the 21 km runners, refreshments during the race and at the finish line; and a post-race party with paella at the Holiday World Beach Club. Bibs can be collected at the Holiday World Polynesia hotel on November 21, from 17:00 to 20:00h, and on November 22, from 10:30 to 13:30 and from 17:00 to 20:00 hours. According to Mari Francis Peñarroya, General Manager of Holiday World Resort: "It is a satisfaction to celebrate ten years promoting sports and a healthy lifestyle, while supporting such an important cause for our community." As a new feature this year, cash prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers of the half marathon, thanks to the collaboration of Fundación La Caixa, and also with the sponsorship of Turismo y Planificación Costa del Sol, La Alzambra de La Viñuela, and Trops. After the race, participants will enjoy a big party at the Holiday World Beach Club, with live music, award ceremony, children's activities, and a community paella. Entry will also be open to the general public through a charity ticket, with all proceeds going to Proyecto Hombre Málaga. The last edition gathered more than 1,800 participants, raising over €67,000 for Proyecto Hombre Málaga and €1 per bib for Cáritas to aid those affected by the DANA in 2024.
