Eco Marathon

The 5th edition of the La Donaira Mountain Eco Marathon will be held on 23rd November 2024

The event is committed to the conservation of the natural environment through sport. For this reason, each year we allocate 10% of the proceeds to environmental causes.

Our purpose is to raise awareness about the importance of reducing the carbon footprint, our environmental impact and reduce the use of plastic as much as possible. How do we contribute to this mission?

  • Using ecological and recycled materials for sports equipment

  • Marking the route with biodegradable beacons

  • Offering ecological products made by us

  • Holding a children’s workshop in nature.

"Run, respect, and connect with nature" is the slogan of the Eco Marathon, born from our deep concern for the future we will leave to our children. With this in mind, our goal is to make the race a family-friendly event. To achieve this, we've created a play center service, allowing every family member to experience the La Donaira Eco Marathon in their own unique way.
