Manuel Bobante from Benidorm completes the six great marathons in the world

Manuel Bobante from Benidorm has completed the six great marathons in the world: New York, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Tokyo, and London. The mayor, Toni Pérez, and the Councilor for Sports, Mariló Cebreros, received the local athlete just a few days after achieving the feat of completing the '6 majors' (World Marathon Majors, WMM); a feat that he achieved this weekend at the end of the London marathon.

During the meeting, the mayor and the councilor for Sports were interested in how the local athlete decided to meet this challenge that began in November 2019 by participating in the New York marathon. During this time, Bobante has walked the path in this challenge at the hands of Luis Hita, runner of more than 100 marathons, and his Marathinez team.

Once the pandemic was over, between September 2021 and last weekend, the athlete from Benidorm has run the tests in Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Tokyo, and London. At the end of the latter, he obtained not only the medal of the test but also the one awarded by the Abbot WMM organization to those who complete the 6 great marathons in the world.
