The XII Caravaca Duathlon reaches a participation record with more than 400 registered athletes
With more than 400 athletes registered, the Caravaca de la Cruz Duathlon is going to break next Saturday, March 11, all participation records in its twelve-year history.
Among those registered are prominent athletes on the national scene, such as the Spanish Elite Triathlon champion and Olympian Ainhoa Murua. In addition, the Sports Department of the Caravaca City Council, organizer of this event, has already confirmed the participation of the Spanish runner-up Jesús Gomar; of the former member of the Spanish National Team Isaac López Carrión and the long-distance triathlete Jon Unanue.
The Councilor for Sports, Emilio Pérez, has been very satisfied with the response that the XII Duathlon Caravaca has received from athletes at the local, regional and national level, managing to surpass the participation of previous editions and placing this event among the of greatest recognition in the Region of Murcia.
The main novelty of the XII Caravaca de la Cruz Duathlon is the change of route, with more sections of urban circuit, to make it more attractive and exciting for the public and participants. The test consists of a first running sector of 6.200 meters, plus 32 kilometers of cycling, to finish with 3.100 meters on foot. Another novelty is that the start, finish and transition area will be located on Paseo de la Corredera and Plaza del Templete.
The absolute category test will begin at 16.30 p.m. and the lower categories at 15.00 p.m.
