The competition, starting at 10:15 AM, will kick off the municipal school cross-country season, bringing together students from clubs and educational centers in the city and other municipalities in the province. The event is part of the 2026 Municipal Individual Cross-Country Championship.
The program includes races for the youth, cadet, infantil, alevín, and benjamín categories, with distances ranging from 800 meters to 3,250 meters. The event will allow participants to compete for medals awarded to the top finishers in each category.
