The mayor of Tarazona wanted to thank the association for its work over the years, including “support for people suffering this situation, which all families experience at one time or another,” Tono Jaray said. Meanwhile, Sports Councillor Pablo Escribano thanked the Centinela Association and the Athletics Club for their efforts in organizing this non-competitive charity sporting event, noting that “this event is capable of bringing together more than 4,000 people in just 24 hours.”
The association’s president, Pilar Taus, added that “to mark the 10th edition of the event, and with the collaboration of 15 local artists, we have created a route through the city’s commercial establishments where visitors will be able to see works created or donated by the artists for the event.”
24-HOUR CHALLENGE AND REGISTRATION
As in previous years, the 24-hour non-stop charity challenge will begin on the 17th at 12:00 p.m. and continue until the same time the following day. It will take place on a 450-meter circuit between the bridges at San Francisco Square, where the start and finish area will be located, and the Virgen del Río bridge. The course can be completed running, jogging or walking, and the organizers’ goal is for someone to be participating at all times during the 24 hours. Also, at 12:00 p.m. on the 18th, a 1.25-kilometer walk commemorating World Breast Cancer Day will take place.
José Manuel Calavia, president of the Tarazona Athletics Club, which is responsible for the event’s technical support and monitoring, said that “registration numbers continue to rise, and we expect to reach 4,000 participants again.” Registration will remain open until Friday the 16th at 2:00 p.m. through the website.
