MARBELLA’S top private hospital has thrown its weight behind one of Europe’s biggest fitness festivals – promising to keep the athletes in tip-top shape.
Quirónsalud Marbella has signed up as a sponsor of the Marbella Championship 2025, a high-octane CrossFit spectacular running from October 3–5.
More than 1,200 athletes from 48 countries will descend on the Costa del Sol, battling it out across 20 gruelling categories – from open-water swims and mountain runs to brutal resistance tests – at the Parque del Mediterraneo.
Bosses say the tie-up cements Marbella’s reputation as a sports tourism hotspot and proves the hospital’s commitment to health, fitness and wellbeing on the coast.
“This sponsorship underlines our drive to promote health, sport, an active lifestyle and wellbeing,” the hospital said, adding that it wants to encourage healthy habits across the community.
Medical lifeline for athletes
Throughout the event, Quirónsalud will roll out its bespoke “Hospitality” programme, designed for international tourists who run into health problems during their stay.
Athletes and their families can access a multilingual call centre offering advice in up to ten languages, with medics delivering instant prescriptions over the phone at no cost, free home visits, or hospital referrals if needed.
Doctors have also been doling out injury-prevention and performance tips ahead of the contest.
