The councilor of Sports, Mariló Cebreros, has been in charge of delivering the prizes of the III Solidarity Cross, which has resulted in 204 runners. In addition, there have been about 130 participants in the hiking and Nordic walking modalities; and 22 people who have decided to take the tour with their pets.

Once the Cross and the march for adults were over, the children's races were held, with more than 130 participants.

The mayor recalled that "in addition to being able to enjoy outdoor physical activity in magnificent surroundings such as the new El Moralet Park, the people who have participated in this initiative have collaborated with a social entity that is very dear to Benidorm and that plays a fundamental role in promoting the integration of people with functional diversity”. Thus, the full amount of the inscriptions -10.50 euros per participant- has been allocated to Double Love and will contribute to the maintenance of the occupational center.
