Record-Breaking Fundraising at the Fedola Family Run 2025 in Costa Adeje

On Saturday, October 25, the picturesque streets of Costa Adeje became a vibrant hub of activity as families and athletes gathered for the much-anticipated fourth edition of the Fedola Family Run 2025. This annual event not only celebrates athleticism but also fosters a strong sense of community, making it a highlight on Tenerife’s calendar.

A Day of Family Fun and Participation

This year’s event attracted nearly a thousand participants, showcasing a remarkable blend of community spirit and athletic prowess. The day kicked off with a series of races specifically designed for children, featuring categories that catered to various age groups, from infants to teenagers. This inclusive approach allowed young athletes to experience the thrill of competition in a supportive environment.

In addition to the children’s races, families had the opportunity to participate together in a two-kilometre race. This particular segment emphasized the event’s family-oriented ethos, encouraging parents and children to bond over physical activity. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and excitement, making it a memorable occasion for all involved.

For those who preferred a more leisurely pace, a charity walk was also incorporated into the day’s activities. Participants enjoyed a scenic route while contributing to a noble cause, reinforcing the sense of solidarity that is at the heart of the Fedola Family Run. This aspect of the event allowed everyone to engage in a meaningful way, regardless of their athletic ability.

Highlighting Competitive Excellence

The main races, featuring 5 and 10-kilometre distances, commenced with an electrifying performance by the Tropicana group, setting a lively tone for the day. Participants faced the challenging Ocean Cross circuit, which combines both asphalt and sandy terrain along the beautiful Playa del Duque. This unique course tested the endurance and skill of the runners, adding an exciting element to the competition.

In the fiercely contested 10-kilometre race, local athletes Aday Salas and Marta Arnay emerged as champions in the men’s and women’s categories, respectively. Their impressive performances not only showcased their individual talents but also highlighted the depth of athletic ability present in the local community. Meanwhile, Alejandro Rodríguez and Diana Pérez claimed victory in the 5-kilometre race, further emphasizing the competitive spirit that defines the event.

Significant Community Contributions and Achievements

Victoria López, president of Grupo Fedola, expressed her pride in how the Fedola Family Run has evolved into a highly anticipated event that embodies the intersection of sporting, charitable, and corporate values. She noted that the race has become a significant brand within the organization, fostering connections among employees who participate as runners or volunteers. This sense of community engagement is a testament to the event’s success and its impact on local morale.

Ana Belén López, vice president of Grupo Fedola, highlighted the increasing success of fundraising efforts each year. This year, an impressive €18,000 was raised, which will directly benefit three local organizations: the Anchieta Social Reintegration Association, the Nahia Assistance Association, and the Quesada Sánchez Family Foundation. These organizations are dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations, including single mothers, migrants, and the elderly, thereby making a tangible difference in the community.

The event culminated in a medal presentation and the distribution of charitable cheques, attended by notable figures such as Manuel Luis Pérez, the council member for Territorial Policy of Adeje Council, and Juan Hernández, the general in command of the Civil Guard in the Canary Islands. Their presence underscored the importance of community support and collaboration in making the event a success.

The success of the Fedola Family Run 2025 was made possible through the collaboration of the Adeje Council and the CanaryRun team, who expertly managed the technical and sporting aspects of the races. Their dedication ensured that the event ran smoothly, allowing participants to focus on enjoying the day and contributing to a worthy cause.
