Rodríguez Uribes attends the VI MiniMaratón Madrid Nebrija, which has brought together 4,000 young runners in the park of El Retiro
Madrid 25 April 2025. The President of the Higher Council of Sports (CSD), José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, has participated today Friday in the awards ceremony of the 6th edition of the Mini-Marathon Madrid-Nebrija, which has brought together 4,000 young people from 54 high schools and institutes and 16 universities in the Madrid park of El Retiro.
The course, which is supported by the Young Sport Foundation through the 2030 Base Sport Support Plan promoted by the CSD, is the only specific aimed at participants from 5th grade in Primary to 2nd grade in Baccalaureate, and this year includes for the first time university runners.
For Rodríguez Uribes it is a project “capable of transmitting many of the best values of sport, such as effort, sacrifice, inclusion, diversity and teamwork”, in addition to contributing to “generating healthy habits among boys and girls”.
The president of the CSD recalled that “young people who practice sport at an early age tend to maintain a more active life in adulthood”, an objective included in the new “National Strategy for the Promotion of Sport against Sedentary Lifestyles and Physical Inactivity” launched by the Government of Spain last December and to which the CSD will earmark €87 million in the period 2025-2030.
The motto of this edition has been Sport and socialization: a tool to combat loneliness, with which it is intended to make visible a problem that affects a quarter of the young people between 16 and 29 years of age.
