Solidarity and the fight for cancer research are the maxim of the ‘Valencia against Cancer’ event, but every year, both the organisation and its collaborators work even harder to achieve the goal of holding an event that is 100% sustainable and free of single-use plastics. It is a clear objective that, little by little, is being achieved thanks to the actions of many of the sponsors who are joining RunCáncer.
Once again, Aquaservice, the leading company in the distribution of bottled water with dispenser in Spain and Portugal, will once again be in charge of hydrating all the participants during the event with more than 5,000 litres of water. As in the previous edition, the company will install hydration points with which, thanks to its circular system of bottled water with dispenser, it will transform the event into a more sustainable version by eliminating the use of single-use plastic for water consumption. Specifically, in 2023, more than 10,000 single-use plastic bottles will no longer be used, the equivalent of 160 kg of this material.
In this way, runners, skaters and walkers will receive their water, both at the refreshment point halfway along the route (at the Torres de Quart towers) and at the post-finish area, in biodegradable cups. Organisation and participants will also be provided with reusable bottles that will be refilled to keep them hydrated throughout the day.
In fact, during the registration process, there is also the option of purchasing a watertight water bottle from Contra el Cáncer en Valencia, which participants can collect along with their race bib and take with them on the day of the event.
A gesture that will help to avoid single-use plastics and that, together with other sustainable actions that have been carried out for years, such as the use of recycled paper bags for the race bibs, the 100% electric race car from Mercedes-Benz Valdisa or the official 42K Running T-shirts made of 100% recycled fabric, make ‘Valencia against Cancer’ a pioneering event in terms of sustainability.
Registrations for all the modalities of this sporting and 100% solidarity event, which will be held in the city of running on 20 October, are still available at www.runcancer.com at a price of 5 euros per bib. Participants in the walk and Nordic walking can also purchase their bib numbers in person at the headquarters of Contra el Cáncer in Valencia (Avda. del Puerto, 13) as well as at the sports floors of the El Corte Inglés stores (Nuevo Centro, Pintor Sorolla, Hipercor Ademuz and Avenida de Francia).
As in every edition, all the proceeds from the sale of the race bibs will go entirely to fund cancer research projects from Contra el Cáncer in Valencia.
Valencia will join forces against cancer in this event, which will be held on Sunday 20 October from 8.30 a.m. on the Paseo de la Alameda, and which will include various sporting activities so that everyone can take part without any excuse.
Likewise, and as has been usual in recent editions, the organisation has activated a Dorsal 0 so that anyone who wants to help and participate, but cannot be at the event on 20 October in person, can still do so by acquiring this Dorsal, with a contribution of 5, 10, 20 or 30 euros 100% in solidarity.

Leading company in the distribution of bottled water with dispenser in Spain and Portugal. Founded in 1997, the company has more than 3,600 people in the team, spread over 70 branches in the main provinces of Spain and Portugal. Currently, it already has more than 750,000 customers in both countries, both in the home and business markets. It is the only brand that offers a 100% native circular solution on a large scale for bottled water in the Iberian Peninsula. The company also has 7 production centres located in natural mineral water springs on the Iberian Peninsula.
Aquaservice seeks to inspire a more sustainable future for the industry, working on the basis of a model that generates value for people and the planet, innovating so that more and more people can drink water in a sustainable way. In this way, the company has recently achieved its goal of being the first company in the sector to achieve the AENOR Circular Economy Strategy certificate, as well as being 100% carbon neutral in all its operations - from the source to the consumer. Aquaservice is also a Zero Waste company, making efficient and sustainable use of raw materials and natural resources. The company is also committed to energy efficiency, using clean energy from sustainable sources in all its centres; to electric mobility, being the first company in our country to incorporate a 100% electric truck for urban delivery; and to sustainable logistics, through its capillary network of geographically distributed springs and the use of Big Data to trace sustainable delivery routes.
Aquaservice is a comfortable and sustainable way to drink at home. For your enjoyment, we provide you with a modern water dispenser free of charge, both for our soft drink and mineral water.
This fountain allows you to regulate the freshness, without having to accumulate bottles in the fridge. And, with its red tap, you can drink at room temperature or hot, if you prefer to use it for cooking or preparing an infusion.
In addition, we deliver the bottles to your home every four weeks, so you don’t have to worry about buying them at the supermarket. That way, you don’t have to worry about going to the supermarket to buy them, you’ll see how convenient it is!
Aquaservice is a circular economy system that generates zero waste. The delivery man, when he brings you the full bottles, collects the empty ones and returns them to the springs. There they are sanitized and reused. Each water bottle has a useful life, capable of storing up to 1,000 liters of mineral water or soft drink. And, of course, at the end of their useful life, they are recycled, so by drinking Aquaservice, you do not generate waste.
The origin of Aquaservice is 100% natural mineral water from the five springs spread throughout Spain. There, in the production centers and applying the most advanced technology, we balance the composition of the mineral water, adding electrolytes, to achieve a light and very soft drink to the palate. Thus, the beverage you enjoy at home is called Refreshing Drink based on natural mineral water. If you try it, you will see that it is: Always the same. Always balanced. Always perfect.
To manage your account in the most convenient way possible, you can install the free Aquaservice App. You can always check your delivery date, leave a note to your delivery driver, modify your order, change your plan (if you need more or fewer bottles), add coffee… and everything is just a click away!
