Activities 2023
As in previous editions, Ecopilas will once again join us in the 1/2 Marathon of Formentera spreading its commitment to the collection of batteries and will have a detail with all those who on the day of the race deposit used batteries in the stand located next to the bib number pickup tent, located at the finish line in La Savina.
In addition, in collaboration with the Consell de Formentera and the Govern de les Illes Balears, an activity will also be carried out in the schools of the island to raise awareness among the youngsters about the importance of recycling a highly polluting material.
Ecopilas will also give a suitcase to the winners (male and female) of both the Half Marathon and the 8km race.
SOLIDARITY WILL NOT BE MISSING TO ACHIEVE A FAIRER AND MORE EQUAL SOCIETY
The Department of Sports of the Consell and the NGO Wanawake Mujer come together to give color and claim equality, at the celebration of this fantastic event.
To do so, Mónica Batán, co-founder of Wanawake, will run the XIV 1/2 Popular Marathon of the Island of Formentera wearing MAUA flowers and bracelets, a symbol of gender equality and rights for women and girls who have survived genital mutilation and child marriage.
You can be part of this movement too, since WANAWAKE will be present on Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th with a stand these colorful and wonderful accessories, handcrafted by Maasai women from Kenya and Tanzania.
Original and unique crafts, handmade in the traditional way with glass beads. Resistant and easy to wear, many athletes already wear them, joining this fight to eradicate the most radical forms of violence against women and girls. With them you generate income for these women and you become a voice for these highly hidden human rights violations.
