The 10km in the Grupo

On Sunday the 13^th of March, there was a fantastic sunny day to go running. And that’s what some of us did in the 10km race in the Grupo. A race which is done for the second time but that looks like it’s going to be introduced as one of the classic ones in Gijón.

Although it was the second year, the participation was great with almost 2.000 people struggling in a route practically flat, surrounding the Real Grupo de Cultura Covadonga facilities. The start was in an excellent place, the Mestas cycling track with almost one lap included and then going out to the street which gives access to the Grupo facilities and that afterwards would be the finish line.

A 10km route allows you to go all over Gijón and that’s great! We go through the downtown, Isabel La Católica park and for sure the walk in the Muro with the fantastic view of the sea and the beach.

The runner’s level is very good. There are more and more people running, and better!
