The fire that suffered the place of the granadella three years ago, it made it impossible to continue with the celebration of the traditional sporting event of the Granadella Trail, so as not to interfere with the regeneration of the mountain. Now, through the Llebeig Atletisme Club, a new, more special and new edition returns, this Sunday, February 2.
As highlighted by the sports councilor, Alberto Tur, "The success of this test is more than justified since in only six days the 500 dorsals were sold out" , a lower number of registrations compared to other years for maintaining the sustainability of the surface. Tur also highlighted that this is the first test to be carried out with the new sustainability campaign, "from the council it was proposed to eliminate all the possible plastic and with the help of Amjasa reusable food points and reusable cups made of silicone ".
Since the organization of the Llebeig Club, Rolf Lucas Jong, has remarked that it will be a different test, "where sea and mountains are combined and in which the route, of 17 kilometers, with 800 meters of unevenness, allows to observe spectacular views of Xàbia and municipalities of the coast". Rolf added that the circuit has a new section that was in disuse and has recovered and with wider areas making the race in the Natural Park easy.
In addition, as a novelty, the test will be broadcast live through the social networks of the club and at the finish line, located in Pinosol Park, they will place a giant screen to see the development of the race. With respect to the trophy, this will be a piece of burned trees.
For its part, the president of the club, Madelane Powell has thanked the willingness of the volunteers, who will be more than 70, and the help of Civil Protection, Local Police and Red Cross that will move to the area of Castell with a first unit Aid
The test will begin at 9:30 am with departure and arrival at Pinosol Park and it is estimated that the first runner to reach the finish line will do so in 90 minutes. As for the control closure is set at 3 hours.
