Once more, the Costa Calida municipality of San Pedro del Pinatar will combine sport and solidarity with the third edition of the AFEMAR Solidarity RunRún event in September, an initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for local projects related to mental health. The event, a running and walking race that will take place on Saturday, September 19, will lead participants around the Salinas and Arenales area and all the proceeds will go towards AFEMAR, specifically two of its projects.

The third edition of RunRún: San Pedro del Pinatar races for mental health

The newest edition of the race offers two categories, allowing athletes of all skill levels to participate in the charity and community event. The running category of the race will cover a distance of six kilometres and is set to begin at 6:30pm from the La Llana Beach parking lot, with the finish line located near the Marina de las Salinas. Alongside it, the walking category will cover around four kilometres, and is open to participants of all ages.

Supporting local charity and community initiatives

The event will transform San Pedro del Pinatar’s most natural spaces into a place of coexistence and solidarity, raising awareness about the importance of mental health care and the struggles local friends and neighbours may be undergoing.

The funds raised will go towards AFEMAR’s social purposes, and especially, to two of its projects: a new supervised housing facility for people with mental health problems, as well as improving the L-mental child and youth care service.

Prices and where to register

Those interested in participating in the AFEMAR Solidarity RunRún event can do so through the official website, babelsport.com, or in person at the AFEMAR headquarters at Calle Concejal Mariano Henarejos, 9, in San Pedro del Pinatar. Registration costs €12 for adults in both categories and €6 for children under 14 years of age. The organisation has also set up a “bib number 0” option, allowing friends, visitors, and neighbours to donate to the initiative even if they don’t want to participate in the race or walk. The registration period will close on Wednesday, September 17, at 10:00pm.

The San Pedro del Pinatar Town Hall, as well as local organisers, have encouraged residents to join the event, tie up their running shoes, and stand in solidarity with friends and neighbours struggling with various mental health issues.

Those looking for a fun, friendly, and completely free way to stay active while connecting with your local community are in luck: Two local organisations, Camposol Free Community Sports (CFCS) and the Camposol Walking Football Club (CWFC), are offering local residents an exciting, low-impact sport with their regular Walking Football sessions, held every Monday, Thursday, and Friday on Football Pitch D7 along Calle Nogales in Camposol.

An inclusive game for all abilities

Made for players of all fitness levels and abilities, walking football provides all the excitement, strategy, and joy of the beautiful game without the fast-paced running, high pressure, or dangerous strong challenges. Whether you are a lifelong football enthusiast wanting to step back onto the pitch or a complete beginner looking for a light workout, this inclusive activity ensures everyone can join in, stay active, and have fun. The sessions are also entirely free for all participants, making it an accessible option for anyone looking to get moving outdoors.

Health and wellbeing benefits

Walking football is rapidly growing in popularity, blending exercise with fun social connection. The sport not only drastically reduces the risk of injury, but also preserves all the key health and mental benefits, with regular participation boosting cardiovascular health, improving blood circulation, and enhancing overall endurance without harming the joints. According to the CWFC, gentle footwork on the pitch also aids in maintaining core mobility, posture, flexibility, and balance, which are crucial for long-term physical health.

The CFCS’s sessions will take place every Monday, Thursday, and Friday at 9:00am, whereas the CWFC’s sessions will take place on Mondays and Thursdays from 10:00am to 11:00am. Anyone is welcome to participate, as long as they are willing to have fun and stay active with local neighbours and friends.

Taking part in group exercise outdoors can also help to reduce stress, lift the mood, and boost confidence. Most importantly, walking football provides a warm, welcoming environment to meet new neighbours, build lasting local friendships, and experience the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a team. Emphasising teamwork, laughter, and support over competition, walking football delivers the perfect blend of sport, fun, and social activity. Grab a water bottle, put on your sports shoes, and head down to Pitch D7 on Calle Nogales to discover a healthier, more active lifestyle right here in Camposol.
