Alicante launches first race Prosolia Alicante FemaleA sporting event that wants to be “a tribute to women” on March 26 and is divided into three modalities: racing, Nordic walking and walking.
Former Olympian Jose Manuel Albentosa, partner of Run Run! On a 4.5-kilometer “very easy” track to circumnavigate the Alicante neighborhood of Pau 5, this “tribute” ensured that it was suitable for both men and women. Awaiting the start of the event, Albentosa celebrated that with at least 1,000 participants, the race will be “colorful” and hundreds will be “dressed in orange for the same cause”.
She highlighted the strength of women’s presence in Alicante athletics, as that gender represented 18% of the total participants in the Alicante half marathon in 2021, compared to 27% last year, and this is above the national marathon, she said. This is 25% on average in sporting events.
The event, which is also supported by the Alicante City Council Equality and Sports Department, aims to help, make visible and defend the role of women in all aspects of our society, underlined by Equality Councilor María Conejero.
