Sant Antoni Camina amb el Càncer Returns for Its Third Edition with 1,110 Registered Participants

November 08, 2026

Sant Antoni de Portmany is hosting the third edition of Sant Antoni Camina amb el Càncer on Sunday, 8 November 2026, bringing together runners, walkers, local musicians and cancer support organisations for a fundraising event dedicated to the fight against cancer.

Originally scheduled for 18 October, the event was postponed because of the forecast of rain. The new date brings the initiative back to Passeig de ses Fonts, with a 5-kilometre competitive race and a 3-kilometre solidarity walk.

The response has been particularly strong this year. According to the official Elitechip registration platform, the event reached 1,110 registered participants across the two distances, with the available places marked as sold out.

A 5 km Race and a 3 km Solidarity Walk

The event offers two ways to participate, allowing people with different fitness levels to support the same cause.

The competitive race covers 5 kilometres and includes age-based categories for male and female participants. The 3-kilometre walk is non-competitive and is designed for people who want to take part without racing.

Both activities start from the Passeig de ses Fonts area in Sant Antoni. The published schedule lists the race start at 10:00 and the walk at 10:10.

The walk follows a route through Carrer Ample and Carrer Soledat towards the Carretera de Cala Gració, before turning back towards Passeig de Ponent and the finish area at Passeig de la Mar, near the Ports IB office.

The race follows the same general route but continues further towards the Cala Gració roundabout to complete the additional distance.

The organisers have also published a notice about a route modification due to street works, so participants are advised to consult the latest course map provided by Elitechip.

Live Music and Entertainment Throughout the Morning

Alongside the sporting activities, the event will include live performances by Ibiza musicians Joan Barbé and Iván Doménech.

Actor and comedian Jose Boto will return as master of ceremonies, helping guide the programme and create a welcoming atmosphere for participants and spectators.

Once the sporting activities have finished, the programme includes the presentation of trophies for the competitive race and a solidarity raffle.

The combination of sport, entertainment and community participation is intended to make the event accessible to a broad audience, including families and people who prefer to support the cause without taking part in the competitive race.

Five Associations Benefiting from the Fundraising

The initiative brings together five organisations working in cancer prevention, research, patient support and assistance to families across Ibiza and Formentera.

The participating associations are:

  • Asociación Pitiusa de Ayuda a Afectados de Cáncer (APAAC).

  • Ibiza y Formentera Contra el Cáncer (IFCC).

  • Asociación Española de Cáncer de Mama Metastásico (AECMM).

  • Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer de Ibiza y Formentera.

  • Asociación Elena Torres por la Investigación para la Detección Precoz del Cáncer.

All proceeds from the event are intended to go directly to the participating associations.

People unable to attend can also support the initiative through the solidarity contribution option, known as fila cero, available through Elitechip. Direct donations can also be made using the bank account details published by the organisers.

Participation and Fundraising Figures

The previous edition, held in 2025, attracted close to 1,000 participants and raised €14,780 for organisations supporting people affected by cancer.

For 2026, the organisers reported strong demand, with more than 400 people registered for the competitive race alone in the days leading up to the event. The registration platform subsequently recorded 1,110 registrations across the race and walk, reaching its published capacity.

The event is organised by Sant Antoni Town Council, with the collaboration of the Consell d'Eivissa, the participating cancer associations and other supporting organisations.

Through another year of community participation, Sant Antoni Camina amb el Càncer continues to bring people together around a shared objective: supporting the organisations working with patients and families affected by cancer in Ibiza and Formentera.
