Estepona is limbering up as it hosts the Andalucian Masters Outdoor Athletics Championships later this month, hundreds of competitors from across the region will flock to the town for two days of adrenaline filled track and field events.
Competition organisers confirmed the event will take place on Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31 at Estepona’s impressive athletics stadium, where athletes will compete in both individual disciplines and club relay races.
Estepona stadium hosts huge event
Saturday’s sports programme will run from 10:30am until 11pm, and Sunday’s events are scheduled from 9am until 4:30pm. Organisers say the tournament is one of the highest-level athletics meetings in the Andalucian masters.
Federacion Andaluza de Atletismo is organising the championships with support from Estepona Town Hall, Andalucia’s regional sports department and Club Atletismo Estepona.
Nearly 20 athletes from Club Atletismo Estepona are hoping to represent the town during the competition after local competitors won more than 20 medals at the 2025 edition of the championships.
Estepona is a regular for hosting top competitions
Local town athletics facilities in Estepona have regularly held major Andalucian events over the recent years, including previous Masters Championships and regional youth competitions. The Costa del Sol is an ideal place to hold sporting events this time of year due to the incredible climate.
Earlier championships held at the same stadium attracted more than 1,000 athletes from different parts of Andalucia, with thousands of event participations recorded across multiple disciplines.
Club Atletismo Estepona has also produced strong performances during earlier editions hosted in the town. One previous championship held at the stadium ended with Estepona athletes collecting 24 medals, including relay golds and field event victories.
Estepona needs to stretch their muscles as its prepares for another busy weekend of regional athletics competition.
