The palm tree quarry lives its great day in the incomparable setting of the Refugio de El Pilar.
The Transvulcania adidas TERREX maintains its roadmap with firmness towards the next generational relay among the runners of the big race with the purpose that someday those who are now a quarry in the future will be a multitude in the different competitive distances of the race of the Isla Bonita.
Nearly 600 young athletes gathered at the Refugio de El Pilar to take part in the Transvulcania Kids-Junior Spar La Palma, surrounded by their families and with an atmosphere very similar to the one that will be experienced this Saturday at the start of the ultra marathon, the start of the marathon and the finish of the half marathon of the Transvulcania adidas TERREX.
The quarry demonstrated that it is very present in the global idea of enjoying sports and healthy lifestyle habits through outdoor activity and that it is also perfectly instructed in the knowledge that caring for the natural environment is fundamental.
In this way, the participants in the Transvulcania Kids-Junior Spar La Palma showed in races with distances programmed according to the age range of the participants, that the message of the race has penetrated deep among them and that they are ready to be the next to make the leap among the big ones.
