The ECOMARXA in Cerdanyola del Vallès commemorates its tenth anniversary on Sunday, April 19, with a festive edition that adapts to natural environment access restrictions, moving its routes to the urban setting of Parc de l'Alba.

This initiative, which for a decade has promoted health and well-being among citizens, has had to modify its usual itineraries. The need for adaptation arises from preventive measures established due to African swine fever, which limit access to certain natural areas.
Despite these changes, the organization has aimed to maintain the spirit of celebration, transforming the traditional charity walk into a large festival. The new routes have been designed to take advantage of Cerdanyola's urban spaces, especially the paths within Parc de l'Alba.

"We are fortunate in Cerdanyola to have very beautiful and large paths."
