Grab those running shoes as Elche hosts the 13th “A Thousand Paths, One Goal” Charity Race.
If you have been looking for a reason to lace up those trainers, this might be it. On Saturday 9 November, Elche will host the 13th “A Thousand Paths, One Goal” (Mil Camins, Una Meta). A Community race that brings people together to take a stand against gender violence.
Something for everyone
The races will take place in the rural districts of Daimés and Derramador, with both the start and finish line at the Derramador Social Centre. You can take your pick depending on how energetic you are feeling:
- 10 km race – a single marked circuit for those who like a challenge
- 5 km Nordic walk – poles optional, enthusiasm essential
- 5 km fun walk – perfect for a relaxed stroll with friends or family
- Children’s races – because every great event needs its future champions

Running for a cause
Organised by the Association of Women’s Neighbourhood Groups of Elche, the event mixes sport, solidarity, and a good dose of community spirit. It is not about breaking records, but about joining forces for a cause that matters.
Councillor for Sports José Antonio Román praised the event, saying that sport in Elche is “reaching new levels of participation and growth, and it will continue expanding for a long time.”
