The city of Tàrrega fully embraced one of the most prominent sporting events on its calendar, with runners starting at 9 AM from the Sports Park. Participation was evenly distributed between the half marathon and the 10-kilometer race.
“"We are very happy because we have practically broken the participation record of the last decade."
The organization, led by the 100x100 Fondistes club with the support of the City Council, demonstrated great mobilization capacity. One of the most significant aspects was local involvement, with 145 athletes from the Fondistes participating in the race, highlighting the strong roots of the event in the city. Additionally, 125 volunteers were crucial for the smooth running of the extensive route that passed through Tàrrega and neighboring municipalities such as Vilagrassa, el Talladell, and la Mora.
The race also revealed an upward trend in female participation, which accounted for approximately 20% of the total registered participants. In this regard, the club continues to foster grassroots involvement with initiatives such as the beginner's running course You can do it!, which this year has exceeded 50 registrations, with about thirty participants making the leap to competition, mostly women.
Regarding the results, in the men's half marathon, Roger Súria won with a time of 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 27 seconds. In the women's category, Emma Carreras delivered a remarkable performance with 1:22:37. For the 10-kilometer race, victory went to El Hassane Lam Dassem, who completed the course in 31:33, while in the women's category, Alba Bellostas claimed victory with a time of 36:53.
