Sant Antoni de Portmany will bring the community together for a morning of sport and solidarity on Sunday, 18 October, as Sant Antoni Camina amb el Càncer returns for its third edition. The annual event combines a competitive 5-kilometre race with a non-competitive 3-kilometre walk, with registration proceeds going to associations supporting people affected by cancer on Ibiza.

The event offers residents and visitors two ways to take part, whether they want to compete for a finish time or simply join a community walk in support of the cause.

Both activities will start at Passeig de ses Fonts, which will also serve as the main meeting point for participants, information stands and the day's activities.

Event Schedule and Start Times

The event takes place on Sunday, 18 October 2026, in Sant Antoni de Portmany.

The competitive 5 km race is scheduled to start at 10:00, followed by the 3 km charity walk at 10:10. The race is organised under the regulations of the Balearic Islands Athletics Federation and includes men's and women's age categories, with trophies for eligible category winners.

The walk is non-competitive. It has no finishing-position classification or prizes based on placement, making it an option for those who want to support the initiative without taking part in a race.

Participants can collect their race numbers on Saturday, 17 October, between 17:00 and 19:00 at Passeig de ses Fonts.

A second collection period will take place on Sunday from 08:00 until 30 minutes before the relevant start time.
