This annual event sees participants take on the challenge of walking routes of 20 or 30 km per day for 4 days, exploring Marbella in a very different way, meeting new people and enjoying fun, social activities, which is all part of the 4Days Walking experience.

In order to open up the event to all residents and visitors alike, there are special 6km routes for children and families on Saturday and Sunday (10th and 11th) and participants can choose to join for one or more days to enjoy the experience. Completing the challenge of walking 80km in 4 days is a big achievement and those participants will be awarded with a medal at the end of the event.

The first edition of Marbella 4Days Walking took place in 2011 with 658 participants, more than doubling in 2012 to 1,552. In 2013, 1,932 people joined and last year that increased to over 2,000, with 19 nationalities travelling from around Europe to attend. This year’s organisers expect more than 2,500 participants and are encouraging more residents of Marbella and the Costa del Sol to get involved and represent Marbella’s vibrant community.

Starting and finishing at Las Terrazas del Puerto Deportivo, in the centre of Marbella each day, there will be entertainment, live music, refreshments, stands, and a great atmosphere from 12-17:00h and everyone is welcome to visit the area and enjoy the fun.
