On June 6th, Eibar will host the fifth edition of the March Against Cancer, an event organized by the City Council with the aim of raising public awareness and collecting funds for research and support for those affected. The day calls on the entire community to wear green clothing, a symbol of solidarity and hope in the fight against this disease. An appointment that has already become a local tradition.
The logistics behind the mobilization: data and route 🚶
The organization has defined a five-kilometer urban route, accessible for all ages and physical conditions. Refreshment points will be set up every two kilometers, managed by Civil Protection volunteers. Funds will be collected through digital bib numbers and a single QR code, avoiding the use of cash. The City Council has coordinated with the DGT for partial traffic closures between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, minimizing inconvenience for residents. A geolocation system will allow the march to be followed in real-time on the municipal website.
The green that feels good, but stains less than red 😅
The green tide is expected to flood the streets, although some residents have already warned that the color reminds them of the uniforms of a certain rival football team. The organization recommends not mixing green shirts with red pants to avoid political or football-related confusion. And if someone arrives wearing a yellow garment, don't worry: they can always say it's an outdated lime shade. The important thing is to walk, sweat, and, in the process, clear out your wardrobe of clothes you no longer use.
