Over 40 children and young people will meet this Friday 13 December at the Movistar Academy Magariños for the start of the inclusive training sessions for the ProFuturo Race 2025. Led by Paralympic athlete Lorenzo Albaladejo, a friend of ProFuturo, this initiative is designed to empower young people with disabilities and at risk of social exclusion through sport and inclusion.
Chema Martínez, renowned Spanish long-distance runner; Magdalena Brier, general director of ProFuturo; Marcelino Pérez, director of Special Olympics Madrid, and Diego González, national head of the Impulsa and CaixaProinfancia Programme at Save the Children, will take part in the event.

Subsequent training sessions will be carried out for young people between 14 and 17 years of age. A total of 80 young people, 60 of whom are disabled and 20 at risk of social exclusion, are taking part in the programme. They include beneficiaries from Special Olympics and other schools in Madrid such as A La Par (Montecarmelo), Fray Pedro Ponce de León (Aluche), Monte Abantos (Las Rozas) and schools in which Save the Children collaborates in Fuenlabrada and Leganés.
ProFuturo Race: running for the benefit of education!
This presentation event will take place as part of the ProFuturo Race 2025, which is a 5.8 km charity race, regarded as the ‘little sister’ of the Movistar Madrid Half Marathon. This event 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. Every kilometre of support is converted into resources that improve the lives of many people. The #RunnersWithCause get their steps in to bring us all closer to the fourth target of the Sustainable Development Agenda: to ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
