On 6 and 7 May, the largest sports race for solidarity purposes returns. The Oxfam Intermón Trailwalker brings together a large number of teams participating in this solidarity march on the Girona Greenway against poverty and the climate crisis. Once again, the #TrailwalkerSabadell teams join the event organised by Oxfam Intermón by contributing their steps for a good cause.
The Trailwalker, supported by Banco Sabadell, is the world’s largest team sports challenge to fight poverty. The challenge is to cover 100 km, 55 km or 10 km along the Girona Greenway, with teams of four people, the donations for which allow us to respond to humanitarian emergencies caused by climate change.
This year, the people of Banco Sabadell will be collaborating once again with#Trailwalker2023, this great sporting challenge, demonstrating their social commitment and solidarity action that are so characteristic of the spirit of #SomosSabadell. This year, 34 #TrailwalkerSabadell teams will take part in the walk: 7 teams will tackle the 100 kilometre challenge, 22 the 55 kilometre one, and 5 the 10 kilometre one. With their steps they will not only have an unforgettable experience, but they will also help people living in poverty.
On Saturday 7 May, the teams will set out from Olot and tackle the first kilometres with hope, effort and companionship, walking together and stopping at the food and rest stations. The teams covering 55 kilometres will arrive at Fira de Girona whilst the 100-kilometre race ends at Sant Feliu de Guixols. On Sunday 8 May, it will be the turn of the teams who have chosen the 10 k option. They will start in Santa Cristina d’Aro and finish in Sant Feliu.
We have supported the Trailwalker nine times now but every year we approach it as if it were the first time, with enthusiasm and a lot of teamwork. For this 2023 edition, we have more than 200 employees who have raised nearly €45,000 for the social and environmental projects promoted by Oxfam Intermón. In this way, we also join the effort to achieve the goal of reducing the vulnerability of groups affected by the climate crisis.
