Cudeca offers care and support to cancer patients and their loved ones in the province of Málaga; they depend on donations. Participants of all routes of M4DW can support them with a donation of at least 10 euros. You’ll get a free t-shirt if you are within the first 1.000 participants

If you are already registered, you can exchange the regular Saturday route for this Challenge Route. Only a limited number of participants are allowed this year. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR
The sun shines very often in Marbella, so wear sun protection at all times. Be prepared and also bring clothes for the fresh morning and maybe a rain shower. Wear good, sturdy walking shoes or sneakers you have already broken into and are familiar with. Perhaps excessive, but every year, we also see participants arriving in flip-flops….

INSURANCE
Remember to bring your international health insurance card with you. In principle, the ambulance will take you to a public hospital. If you have private insurance, you can check in advance if the policy covers private hospitals.
