Marbella seeks cycling talent with the first training race

San Pedro Alcántara will be the setting this Sunday, December 14, for the first edition of the Training Cyclist Race, an event promoted by the Marbella City Council with the goal of fostering grassroots sports and consolidating the practice of this discipline among the municipality's youth. Councilor Lisandro Vieytes presented this new initiative, which will start from Carlos Cano Avenue at the roundabout of La Salida beach and will take place in the area.

"It is aimed at participants between 7 and 19 years old, in both male and female categories," the councilor noted, adding that registration will be free and will only require the donation of one kilogram of non-perishable food that will be used for social purposes. Registration can be completed through the municipal website, using a QR code provided for this purpose, or on the day of the event at the starting point.

Safe route and a family and educational atmosphere

Vieytes, accompanied by municipal officials from the area in San Pedro Alcántara, Javier Mérida and Juan José Almagro, explained that "the route will be totally safe and designed to promote a family and educational atmosphere, where the local cycling youth can share a day of sport and coexistence." He also thanked the involvement of the city's clubs, encouraging them to participate, including Los Jululus, Grupo Serman, Triatlón Marbella, and Triatlón Costa del Sol.

He highlighted that this initiative "aims to become a fixture in the local calendar" and recalled that "Marbella has already been developing activities related to cycling, such as the clinic with professional Luis Ángel Maté, which will be repeated in 2026." "The goal is to continue positioning our city as a benchmark in event organization and to continue strengthening the Marbella brand through sports and the promotion of talent," the councilor concluded.
