The town of Ayora hosted the XXXVI edition of the Popular Race, a sporting event encompassing various categories, from functional diversity to veterans. The race, integrated into the La Costera, La Canal i el Vall d'Ayora Race Circuit, saw participation from local runners and those from other towns.
In the 7,500-meter Absolute category, Luismi Montosa took first place with a time of 24 minutes and 14 seconds, followed by Pablo García (24:27) and José María Valles (25:17). Among women, Maribel Caro was the winner with 29:06, followed by Sandra Murcia (30:10) and Sandra Sánchez (31:02).
The younger categories also had their protagonists, with names such as Jorge Martínez in Functional Diversity, Triana González in Pre-Benjamin, Laia Rodenas in Benjamin, Vera Cámara in Alevín, Alexia Beneyto in Infantil, and Pascual Pardo Francés in Cadete.
The El Valle Athletics Club expressed gratitude to collaborators, volunteers, residents, businesses, and the Ayuntamiento de Ayora, as well as the presence of council members, the Festival Queens, local police, and Civil Protection. The weather was favorable for the race, although participation in the younger categories was moderate due to a yellow pre-emergency alert.
The organization apologized for any deficiencies and shortcomings, which are being addressed, and invited everyone to the 37th edition planned for 2027.
