Sports events in Formentera

Esdeveniments | June 6, 2023

Formentera is a perfect place for any kind of sport. Everyone who takes part in one of its events leaves wanting to come back. We don’t know whether it’s the magic of the island or that any excuse is good enough to return to Formentera.

Illa de Formentera Half Marathon

One of the events held on the island is the Popular Half Marathon and 8 km race. Places are limited, so it is very important to register in advance. It is one of the races that runs through the most idyllic landscapes in Formentera, and it is usually held every year in May.

Formentera to Run

If you love running, you can take part in Formentera to Run. It is a stage race divided into 5 events, covering a total of 60 km. There are two categories: competitive, running against the clock with an official ranking, and walkers, a non-competitive category with no timing and no official ranking.

Formentera is the ideal destination for runners, and even simply going for a walk is a healthy activity in an ideal setting.

International Yoga Day

21 June

For those who prefer a more relaxed plan, for some years now Formentera has celebrated International Yoga Day (21 June). The Consell Insular de Formentera organises a special day to raise awareness of the benefits of this practice. It is always led by a professional; in 2022 the masterclass was given by Verónica Blume. This year’s theme was “the way back to you”, a very intimate and personal class.

This year with Alessandra Oram, an internationally renowned yogi and one of the few professionals in Europe who practise the Navakarana Vinyasa method, otherwise only practised in Asia. The masterclass will take place on the 21st at 7.30 pm

The event will be held on the terrace of the Fishermen’s Guild at the port of La Savina and will coincide with the Formentera sunset. The registration fee is €10 and you can sign up on the official website here

You don’t need to bring a mat, but do bring sun cream and warm clothes for the final relaxation.

Formentera Zen organises a series of days where wellbeing takes centre stage. The idea is to enjoy a few days on the island learning about yoga, pilates, meditation, fitness, postural balance, dermatology, cosmetics, nutrition, diet and healthy habits… through workshops, talks and masterclasses.

BTT Cycling Tour

And if cycling is your thing, the Cycling Tour is the best option: it lets you discover Formentera along other paths, and you can take part even if you’re not very fit and have no intention of competing.

It is held every year in Formentera in April or May.

The Formentera BTT Cycling Tour has 3 stages totalling 97.5 km. The three areas of the island it covers are Sant Francesc, Pilar de la Mola and La Savina, and each stage takes about three hours.
