The race, celebrating its ninth edition, registered a participation record with 544 inscriptions, as confirmed by Oriol Gràcia, the event director. Gràcia highlighted that citizen involvement "is growing" and emphasized the event's link to the solidarity cause of La Marató, dedicated this year to the fight against cancer.
“"The Mile has been growing exponentially, and it is already a tradition in Valldoreix and Sant Cugat. It should also be noted that it is the activity linked to La Marató that has the most participation and fundraising in Sant Cugat."
The president of the EMD de Valldoreix, Juanjo Cortés, defined the event as a "family celebration, of solidarity, and of the people of Valldoreix". Cortés expressed pride that this activity records the highest participation in the entire municipality of Sant Cugat, indicating that "we are on the right track and people are eager to be supportive."
Regarding the sports results of the Open category, the male winner was Josep Díaz, from Runners Espanyol, followed by Ot López, from Club Muntanyenc Sant Cugat, and Aleix Cabanach.
