Next Sunday, 7 April, a new edition of the ProFuturo Race will take place in Madrid. The city will be hosting this sporting event for the eighth consecutive time, one which draws thousands of participants with the aim of mobilising for education.
The 5.8 km charity race, considered to be the “little sister” of the Movistar Madrid Half Marathon, is actually much more than a city run, as 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 collective long-distance race. The charity kilometres that are added up become resources that improve the living conditions of many people and go beyond the finish line, as we will be getting closer and closer to the fourth goal of the Agenda for Sustainable Development: ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
