Benidorm organizes the third 'Javier Velasco a por ellasTrail' to benefit Anémona
This morning the third "Javier Velasco a por ellas" Trail was presented in Benidorm on Sunday, May 27, starting at 10.00 in the morning at Foietes Park in Benidorm, to the benefit of Anémona, the Group for Women with Breast Cancer of Marina Baixa. The councilor of Sports, Arturo Cabrillo, and the councilor of Equality, Paquita Ripoll, along with the runner Javier Velasco and representatives of Anémona, Paquita Benaloy and Encarna Zafra participated in the event..
Cabrillo indicated that the event will have three categories and three different outputs: 'March Senderista', at 10.00; 'Trail 9 km', at 10.15; and 'Mini Trail 1 km', at 11.30. For the head of Sports this is a "very special sporting event and therefore, will have the full support of my department and the entire City Council" because Anémona is "a non-profit association that is doing an invaluable work in all senses".
Javier Velasco said that, after the experience of the two previous editions, and since "there were many people who wanted to participate", this year "a trail through the lungs and heart of Benidorm that is Foietes" was designed. The local athlete and entrepreneur will begin his particular test with a small group of athletes the night before and will make a tour through the region that will end moments before the official tests begin. Velasco also announced that more than 150 people have already registered and that they will be able to continue doing so through the web www.mychip.es a >
Finally, Encarna Zafra showed its gratitude to companies and institutions that have made the test possible and expressed the wish that "there will be maximum participation" so that "we have a great Sunday". Regarding the innovation of this edition, the 'Mini Trail 1km', stressed that "it is a great way to raise awareness of children" and "make them participate" in solidarity actions, such as this third mountain race that will run on Sunday in Benidorm.
