Calvià hosts a charity race with four race options

Plan your race pace

Magaluf will host the first race organised by the Marco Asensio Foundation on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, with timed races, a walk and a family event. The start and finish will be at the Magaluf Athletics Track, on Joan Munar Martínez Street, and the programme is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with the longest distance. The event combines community sport with fundraising in four formats designed for different abilities and ages.

Entry costs 15 euros for the 5K and 10K races and the 5K walk; chip rental adds 2 euros for participants who do not have their own. The 1K family race costs 10 euros for a pair consisting of one adult and one child. All proceeds from entries and donations will go to the foundation’s programmes, which aim to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and their families.

A sporting event with a charitable purpose

The programme brings together runners seeking a result, families wanting to share a first race and people who would rather walk. That range also shapes the morning’s pace: the two competitive races open the schedule, followed by the participatory events. The day is not only about recording times; it offers different ways to take part in support of a shared cause.

According to the available information, 100% of the money raised through entries and donations will support the Marco Asensio Foundation’s programmes. The organisation focuses on children affected by cancer and their families. A Dorsal 0 option allows people to contribute without taking part in person; it is a donation that does not include a race bib or T-shirt. People can contribute by running, walking or donating.

The shared start and finish at the Magaluf track give the event a clear meeting point, although each format will use a circular route with different characteristics. The final course will be published before race day. Until then, details such as elevation, gradient and specific streets cannot be confirmed. The start location is confirmed, but the complete route is not.

Four event options and staggered starts

The longest distance is the 10K, made up of two laps of the planned route. It is an individual race timed by chip, with overall and age-group standings. The start is scheduled for 10 a.m. The organisers also plan to provide pacers, runners who maintain target speeds to help participants hold a steady pace. The 10K will be the first event on the programme.

The 5K will cover one lap and is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. Like the 10K, it will use chip timing and provide overall and age-group results, as well as pacers. The shorter distance offers an option for people who want to compete or complete an asphalt race without running two laps. Both timed races share the same competitive format and results system.

The 1K family race starts at 12:15 p.m. and is designed as a shared experience for one adult and one child. It will have no standings or prizes, but the event information says children will receive a finisher medal and commemorative T-shirt. The 5K charity walk starts at 12:30 p.m.; it also has no standings and allows pets, provided they are kept on a lead and under control. The final part of the morning is reserved for non-competitive, participatory events.

All four starts fall within a two-and-a-half-hour window, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The sequence separates the timed races from the family event and walk, although the organisers say schedules may change for technical, weather, safety or official reasons. The published times are provisional and may be adjusted.

Entry fees, timing chips and donation options

Entry to the 10K, 5K and 5K walk costs 15 euros per participant. Runners in either timed race who do not have their own chip must add 2 euros for rental. That extra charge does not apply to the walk, which has no standings or timing. Individual events cost 15 euros, or up to 17 euros with chip rental.

The family event costs 10 euros per pair, defined as one adult and one child. Each additional adult costs 5 euros, while an optional commemorative T-shirt for an accompanying adult costs 10 euros and can be requested through the family entry form. The Dorsal 0 option accepts donations of any amount and does not include participation, a physical bib or a T-shirt. The family fee is per pair, with optional extras available.

The published amounts cover different components, rather than one flat fee for everyone. In particular, chip rental applies only to participants who need one for a timed race, and the additional family T-shirt is optional. The available information does not say whether the platform charges other fees, so participants should check the final amount during registration. The fee summary does not replace the conditions shown in the official entry form.

Elitechip will manage registration. Entries are personal and non-transferable unless the organisers expressly authorise a change. The 10K, 5K and walk have a combined limit of 800 participants; the family event’s capacity will depend on the venue and safety requirements. The announced 800-person limit does not include a fixed number for the family event.

Course, timing and age groups

Every event will start and finish near the Magaluf Athletics Track and use a circular course. The 10K will complete two laps and the 5K one, while the walk also covers 5 kilometres and the family event 1 kilometre. The organisers will publish the final route before race day. There is not yet enough information to describe the course street by street.

The two competitive races will use chips to record times and compile overall and age-group standings. Race bibs must be clearly displayed on the front of the participant’s shirt throughout the event. The information says tampering with, duplicating or improperly transferring a bib may lead to disqualification. Chips are mandatory for the timed races, while the walk and family event have no competitive results.

The announced age groups are Under 18, Senior, Masters 40, Masters 50 and Masters 60. The Senior category covers ages 18 to 39; Masters 40 covers 40 to 49; Masters 50 covers 50 to 59; and Masters 60 starts at age 60. Age is based on the participant’s age on race day. Age-group standings apply to the timed 5K and 10K races.

Awards are planned for the top three men and women overall, as well as the top man and woman in each age group. Awards cannot be combined: overall podium finishers will not also receive an age-group award, which will pass to the next eligible finisher. The system is designed to share recognition between overall and age-group results.

Family participation, the walk and minors

The 1K event is designed for an adult and a child to cross the finish line together. Unlike the 5K and 10K, it is not a race with times and placings, but a participatory activity. The event information says children will receive a finisher medal and commemorative T-shirt. The family format puts the shared experience ahead of the result.

Any participant under 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to register. Permission is also required for the use of a minor’s image. The available information does not specify a minimum age for each distance, so that requirement and any additional conditions should be checked in the race rules before registration. Legal authorisation is required for minors to participate.

The 5K walk offers an alternative for people who prefer to take part on foot without competing. Pets are allowed, provided they are kept on a lead and do not put others at risk. The event’s pet-friendly policy does not remove the owner’s responsibility to control the animal throughout the route. Shared safety and consideration are essential during the walk.

Across all formats, organisers ask participants to respect runners, walkers, families, volunteers and the surrounding area. Participants should follow instructions on movement, starts and finishes, especially on shared sections or where children and animals are present. The community spirit of the event also depends on responsible behaviour.

Registration, race bibs and changes

Registration will be handled through Elitechip, where participants select an event and complete their details. Because entries are personal and non-transferable unless the organisers authorise a change, participants should not assume they can freely give their bib to someone else. The organisers may allow changes of participant or distance within deadlines they set. Specific change conditions depend on the official rules and deadlines.

If a change to a more expensive event is approved, the participant must pay the difference. The available information does not specify the deadline or exact procedure for these requests. The bib collection location and hours have also not yet been announced; those details will be shared before race day through official channels. Further instructions for bib collection are still pending.

Participants will need to present the documents specified by the organisers to collect their bib. Separate rules may apply when a person collects a bib on behalf of someone else or a minor. The bib must be visible on the front of the shirt, and the chip must not be altered or transferred improperly. Checking the instructions in advance can prevent uncertainty on race day.

The cancellation policy deserves attention because the event has a charitable purpose. The available information says entry fees will not be refunded to people who ultimately cannot attend, although the organisers must explain at registration how contributions will be treated if the event is cancelled or changed. The organisers also reserve the right to adjust schedules, routes and services for organisational, weather, technical, health, administrative or force majeure reasons. Participants should review the conditions before paying.

Details still to be confirmed before race day

The date, town, start venue and main distances have been identified, but some operational details have yet to be published. These include the final course, the times and locations for bib collection, and a full description of planned services. The organisers may adjust arrangements to reflect permits, safety and event requirements. The rules and official announcements will be the reference for any changes.

The listed address is the Magaluf Athletics Track, Joan Munar Martínez Street, s/n, 07181 Magaluf, Calvià. The venue will serve as the shared start and finish for all four event options. Without the final route, it would be premature to attribute specific streets, gradients or technical features to the course. The track is the confirmed venue, not a complete description of the circuit.

The inaugural event is planned as a morning of sport with both competitive and recreational options, alongside an explicit charitable purpose. The key details for participants are the Nov. 15, 2026, date, the first start at 10 a.m., fees by event and the need to check registration terms. The charitable dimension sits alongside practical details on schedules, costs and rules.

In Magaluf, the programme will link two timed races with a family event and a walk open to walkers and pets. The event’s appeal will lie both in the chance to chase a time and in sharing a course without rankings. Its final scope will depend on participation and the publication of outstanding information through official channels. The event offers different ways to support a cause through community sport.
