The Skyrace Pic de l'Orri gathered over 500 participants last Saturday in the mountains of Soriguera, setting a new registration record in an edition marked by low temperatures and the presence of snow.

The event, organized by the Soriguera Town Council, once again established itself as a high-mountain race, with demanding weather conditions that tested the runners' endurance. The presence of snowdrifts at higher altitudes added an extra challenge to the competition.
In the main 50-kilometer race, a regular participant secured victory with a time of 5 hours, 24 minutes, and 46 seconds. The men's podium was completed by two other competitors. In the women's category, three runners crossed the finish line in Vilamur together, with a time of 7 hours, 30 minutes, and 26 seconds, sharing the top spot.
The 25-kilometer race saw two winners in their respective categories. Similarly, in the 10-kilometer distance, one male runner and one female runner were the fastest. This category was notable for the participation of an 85-year-old runner, the oldest participant in the event.
Finally, the Mini Skyrace Pic de l'Orri attracted 87 children, with the race counting towards the regional school league l'Encamada. Alongside the races, various cultural and natural dissemination activities were held at the Centre de Descoberta de les Ciències de la Terra de Rubió and the medieval deserted village of Santa Creu de Llagunes.
