Night trail Active Alcaucin

Rincon De La Victoria

is set to host the sixth edition of its famous Night Trail La Jabega on August 5.

Registration can be made via the website: www.dorsalchip.es. Acting mayor, Francisco Salado, confirmed: “Very few races in Spain allow you to run at night. The race starts and finishes on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is enjoyed enormously and has a huge appeal among athletes.”

The sixth CxM Trail Nocturno La Jabega will start at 9.30pm and will have, as in previous years, an attractive route of 16 kilometres.

For this edition, the Club Atletismo Rincon has prepared some novelties. Acting Sports councillor, Antonio Jose Martin, explained: “One of the novelties will be the Mixed Pairs format. One of the members of the pair will start in the same direction of the race and the other will start in the opposite direction until reaching the geodesic point. The first of the two to arrive can help their partner to reach that particular point and, subsequently, both will continue to the finish line in the direction of the race.”

Walkers enjoyed bright sunshine and stunning vistas.
