Our Commitment to Mallorca

Sporting events have the power to go beyond competition. Since its arrival on the island, Mallorca by UTMB®, through the UTMB® Cares foundation, has been driving projects that create a positive impact on both society and the environment. Solidarity, health, inclusion, and the environment are the pillars on which these initiatives are built, always in collaboration with local organizations.

In the 2024 edition, Mallorca by UTMB® launched the Charity Bibs, raising €5,000 that was donated to three local organizations:

• ASPANOB ((Association of Parents of Children with Cancer of the Balearic Islands)

• Grup d’Acció Social Sóller

• Santuari de Lluc (for the preservation of the Germà Macià Naturalist Garden of Balearic Flora)

This support contributed both to improving the quality of life of vulnerable groups and to protecting Mallorca’s natural heritage.

In 2025, Mallorca by UTMB® is once again committed to this initiative, offering new Charity Bibs to runners. The funds raised will once again go to local organizations, strengthening the race’s connection with the territory and consolidating the values of respect, inclusion, and sustainability that inspire Mallorca by UTMB®.

More Info about the Charity Bibs

In 2025, the Charity Bibs have a very special purpose: supporting the Fundació Social La Sapiència, which promotes social inclusion programs and assistance for people at risk of social exclusion.

The funds raised will finance agrarian and forestry training grants at the Santuari de Lluc, located in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana. These grants provide real opportunities for personal and professional integration for vulnerable individuals, while also contributing to the preservation of the island’s traditional agricultural landscape, a symbol of its cultural and natural identity.

Restoration of the Portell de sa Costa Trail

Respect for the land and the preservation of mountain paths are part of the event’s DNA.

An example of this was the agreement signed with the Fornalutx Town Council to restore the Portell de sa Costa trail, which had been damaged by a severe storm in 2021. Thanks to full funding from the UTMB® Cares foundation, the path recovered its original route, improving user safety and preventing erosion.

These kinds of initiatives reflect the commitment to protecting natural heritage and keeping the essence of the Serra de Tramuntana alive.

UTMB® Cares: a global movement with local impact UTMB® Cares is the solidarity and environmental initiative of the UTMB® World Series, rooted in values such as solidarity, inclusion, respect, and authenticity. Through Mallorca by UTMB®, this global mission takes shape in projects that care for people, communities, and the island’s natural environment.
