With pre-registered numbers that are a sign of the desire to make up for lost time (like the protagonist of the novel by Marcellus Proust In search of lost time). As in previous years, we would have liked to see everyone at the starting line, but we must not exceed the capacity of the trials, both for environmental responsibility and for the runners to receive the attention they deserve”.
Tico Cervera also wanted to thank the efforts of the Provincial Council of Castellón and the Valencian Generalitat in the recovery of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa, an emblematic place of the province and target of the MiM and the CSP. Finally, he indicated that “ASICS Penyagolosa Trails is more than a sporting event, we want to spread the values of sport, nature and health, help revitalize the territory of the interior of our province and that the event is an experience of sport and tourism for runners and runners and companions”.
