More than 800 runners took part in the AFEMAR charity mental health race in San Pedro del Pinatar. This was the third edition of the popular event, which brought together local residents, experienced athletes, and mental health advocates. The race took place on the municipality's lively coastal streets, showcasing community spirit and athletic determination.
In the men's category, Josรฉ Vicente Gonzรกlez Arteaga won the race with a time of 21 minutes and 4 seconds. Josรฉ Moreno Gonzรกlez took second place, and Francisco Mariano Martรญnez Morales, known as "Kiko", finished third. Women's race winner Esther Bรณdalo Lozano completed the event in a remarkable 27 minutes and 29 seconds. Caroline Brown placed second, and Gladys Cecilia Artiaga Londa finished in third position.
The main purpose of the race was to raise funds for AFEMAR's social initiatives. All the money raised from registrations and community donations went towards two essential projects: building a new sheltered housing facility for individuals with mental health challenges and expanding the "L-mental" support service for children and adolescents with mental health issues. Organizers were thankful for the hundreds of participants, volunteers, municipal leaders, and supporters who made the event a success.
The RunRรบn race has become a beloved tradition in San Pedro del Pinatar, demonstrating that when a community comes together, they can create meaningful and lasting positive change for mental health care awareness in their town.
