The Centre Excursionista de Begues, supported by the Begues Town Council, has opened the registration period for the upcoming popular orienteering race scheduled for April 19th.

Starting at 10:00 AM from Plaça Camilo Riu, participants can choose between a long course with 40 checkpoints for experienced runners and a shorter 25-checkpoint route designed for families and beginners.
Competitors will have three hours to collect as many points as possible by visiting various beacons marked on a map provided at the start. As the race promotes self-sufficiency, there will be no water stations along the route, although emergency contacts will be included on the maps.
Registration is available until April 14th. The event focuses on outdoor sportsmanship rather than competition; therefore, no winner prizes will be awarded, but all participants will receive a gift and snacks at the finish line in Begues.
