What’s new in the ProFuturo 2025 Race: Runners are gearing up for education!

On Sunday, 6th April 2025, Madrid will once again be the site of the ProFuturo Race. Now in its ninth edition, this charity event will draw thousands of runners, who we call RunnersWithACause, ready to tally up the kilometres for education.

The race, with a brand-new 5-km route, is considered the “baby sister” of the Movistar Madrid Half-Marathon. That said, its impact goes far beyond sports: it is a space for reflection and social awareness, highlighting the importance of bringing quality education to children in all corners of the world, especially those living in vulnerable environments.

Transforming education is a long-distance race for us all, and every kilometre translates into resources that make a better life for many, many people. Crossing the finish line means one step closer to meeting Sustainable Development Goal 4: ensuring inclusive, equitable and quality education for all.
