Full Moon Charity Walk will take place on Saturday, 8 August at 8pm. This is the fifth annual event for Luna Llena Sports Club.
The event promotes physical activity, nature and astronomy as well as charity. It aims to raise awareness about the Sierra Nevada and help vulnerable communities.
The walk will begin at Route 1 of the Cañada del Lobo ascent. Participants are asked to donate at least 1 kg of non-perishable foods, clothes in good condition or both to those who are in need. Everything collected will then go to the charity El Vuelo de Las Libélulas.
During the event, water and fresh fruit will be provided, and the evening will conclude with a raffle, a DJ set, glowing bracelets, and an astronomy session led by the astronomer Juan de Dios Rodríguez, who will set up telescopes for stargazing.
Benalmadena’s councillor for sport announced the event, saying: “Initiatives such as this show how sports can be a driving force of solidarity and community connections.” Joined by Full Moon Sports Club president Germán Muñoz, Carretero urged residents to join in: “We want sport to reach every corner and be experienced beyond conventional spaces, like our natural trails, while supporting such a vital charitable cause.”
The club encourages its participants to bring a torch, wear comfortable shoes, and be ready to spend a memorable time with their neighbors under the stars.
