Sunday 12 October – JoyRon Foundation, in collaboration with E-Touch Systems at STP, hosted its fourth annual Go-Kart Racing and Family Fun Day at the Magaluf Go-Kart Track. Despite a 60-minute weather delay mid-morning, the event quickly bounced back. The track dried, racing resumed, and even the children’s entertainment and market were smoothly moved indoors.

With 96 drivers taking part, the day was packed with excitement. Mickey and Minnie Mouse brought smiles to the younger guests, while the go-kart teams battled it out for the podium. The winning team was E-Touch Systems, followed by 7P’s Yacht Support and Titan Marine.

Thanks to all participants, sponsors—many from the yachting community—and volunteers from JoyRon and beyond who made the event a success. Proceeds are currently being finalised and will go toward supporting children in need across the Balearics.

We’re already planning the fifth edition in October 2026—with hopes of seeing even more teams and families join the fun!

Nautical training update: New opportunities for young people

This year, JoyRon Foundation sponsored a new initiative by Fundación Cleanwave’s Education Department, offering 16 young people (ages 15–20) at risk of social exclusion the chance to gain specialised training in the nautical sector.

The Nautical Training Introduction Program focuses on:

• Personal and professional development: Providing technical skills, inspiring maritime careers, and equipping participants for a high-demand job market.
• Social skills: Promoting discipline, teamwork, adaptability, and motivation through hands-on learning.
• Labour integration: Preparing youth for real job opportunities and access to formal 2026 training such as the Titulín or Recreational Boat Skipper (PER) licenses.

JoyRon plans to finance a second training cycle in 2026, further expanding its mission to help children and young people in need across the Balearic Islands.
