Sport and education come together again on 6 April 2025 in Madrid, Spain, with a new edition of the ProFuturo Race. This charity race, known as the little sister of the Movistar Madrid Half Marathon, combines running, inclusion, and education to send a clear message: transforming education is a long-distance race we must run together.
A charity race for a powerful cause
The ProFuturo Race is not just a 5.8 kilometre sporting event; it is an opportunity for #RunnersConCausa to move for a purpose. Every kilometre translates into resources that help guarantee inclusive, equitable, and quality education for boys and girls in the vulnerable communities where ProFuturo operates. This event is promoted by Fundación Telefónica and “la Caixa” Foundation, organised by Agrupación Deportiva Marathon, Atresmedia, and Sport Life Ibérica, with Movistar as the main sponsor and the institutional support of the Madrid City Council and the Community of Madrid. Joma Sport is the technical sponsor.
This year’s news!
This year, we have taken a step further with the launch of the #RunnersConCausa project, led by Lorenzo Albaladejo, paralympic athlete and friend of ProFuturo. This project is more than just running; it aims to promote social inclusion through sports. Lorenzo describes it like this: ‘Teamwork and effort can overcome any barrier. This project provides young people with the tools to overcome challenges both in sport and in life.’
60 young people at risk of social exclusion due to intellectual disabilities participated in the launch event, from schools such as A La Par (Montecarmelo), Fray Pedro Ponce de León (Aluche), and Monte Abantos (Las Rozas). Thanks to the collaboration with Special Olympics Madrid and Save the Children, these children found in sports a space for inclusion and self-improvement.
We are all RunnersConCausa
Solidarity is one of the greatest motivations to run. In 2024, more than 2,092 people joined the ProFuturo Race, breaking participation records. This year, we hope to surpass that number and continue growing as a family. Participating is simple: all you need are your running shoes, motivation, and the desire to support education.
Why run?
Sports not only improve physical and mental well-being, but they also have a transformative power that goes beyond the finish line. Every step helps reduce educational gaps and create learning opportunities for children and teachers in vulnerable situations. Transforming education is a collective effort, and the more people join, the faster we will reach our goal: guaranteeing quality education for everyone.
