Residents and visitors in Javea are being encouraged to put on their walking shoes and support cancer research at the sixth annual Walk Against Cancer Javea on Sunday, October 25. Organised by the local branch of the Spanish Association Against Cancer, or AECC, the charity walk will bring the community together to raise funds for research and show solidarity with people affected by the disease.
Javea charity walk returns for its sixth edition: A 5.5km route supporting cancer research
The non-competitive event will start at 10:00am from Avenida Rey Jaime I, in the port area of Javea, with participants completing a 5.5-kilometre route before finally returning to the starting point. The event is open to anyone capable of completing the route, making it an opportunity for people of all ages and fitness levels to take part in.
Unlike a competitive race, there will be no official timing or classification. The focus is instead on participation, fundraising and raising awareness of cancer and its impact on local neighbours and their families.
How to participate in the Walk Against Cancer Javea
Those who want to participate in the walk can register at somesport.com. Entry will cost €7 per person and includes a race number and commemorative T-shirt, and all proceeds from the event will go towards the AECC. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult who is also registered for the walk.
The event is organised by the AECC’s Javea branch, with support from Javea Town Council and local water company Amjasa.
A fun and active way to support neighbours battling cancer
The initiative offers residents an opportunity to enjoy an active morning while contributing to a cause that is close to the community. Bringing people together through a simple, but powerful community walk, the organisers hope to encourage solidarity with those affected by cancer and support continued research into the disease.
