MARBELLA – Hikers from all over the world have been coming to the Costa del Sol since October 2011 to take part in ‘Marbella 4 Days Walking’. The first year, many thought it was daring to organise a four-day event in Marbella.
The event is now so well known people of many nationalities are already signing up for 2022. Last year the international event was cancelled due to the corona pandemic. Just like every year, something new will be devised for the next edition to expand the quality of the event and the activities around it. For 2021, there are routes of 10, 20 and 30 km. The event runs from 7th-10th October, 2021.
‘The atmosphere is fantastic’
Initiator Hans Wohl and his wife Clarie Wohl-Morks enjoy organising the event every year. “It’s been hard work for a year, but when the first runners pick up their tickets and you see how excited they are, we always get the feeling that all the work is definitely worth it. The atmosphere is fantastic”, says Hans. There are minor changes to the routes this year to allow hikers to see something different, and for safety.
Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, it was not possible to walk in 2020. However, it now looks like it will be possible to walk in October. Marbella townhall has already given the green light.
Are you up for the challenge?
There are different routes of 10, 20 and 30 kilometres every day, and more besides the walking. At the start and finish square in Plaza del Mar on the boulevard of Marbella, the day starts with music to get the runners in the mood. Upon your return you can enjoy the music of the Swing Dixieland band, a DJ and different performances. Participants will be ensured of a festive atmosphere.
Participants can choose for themselves how many days they walk and you can register for the Marbella 4 Days Walking through the website until October 5th. Then from Wednesday 6th October between 10:00 and 16:00 and daily before the start in the administration tent.
