This morning the Councilor for Sports, Irene Jódar has presented the XLI edition of the mountain crossing that will take place on October 5, as noted 'is the oldest test of the Guadalentín Sports Games and in its long history has always told With a lot of participation.

In addition, one of the things that make it unique is that the same itinerary is never repeated, and this is possible thanks to a thorough work throughout the year of a team of eight people and a team of 100 volunteers in that test. '

This activity that consolidates over the years aims to reach the maximum number of people possible, and is achieved with the Family Crossing modality, 'which is easier in terms of technical level and physical requirement.

They are 5-7 kilometers, and it is perfect to do as a family, since it consists of a very attractive route for children, where there are areas to climb, as well as a wooded environment and the nightlife that envelops this crossing with magic making it a full-fledged adventure. '

This year you can not take a baby carriage, said Jódar Pérez.

The mayor of sports recalled that 'one of the attractions of these tests is that the routes are new every year, and that they only know 20 minutes before starting them, which is very striking and encourages many of the participants to repeat edition after edition '.

In total, three crossings are established in which the route to the very beginning of the test is unknown, and which are classified as: Long Crossing, which is indicated for the most experienced participants and which consists of 20-25 kilometers, and is developed cross country, with some ravine.

The team members will be 3-5;

Short crossing that has a total of 10 -12 kilometers away that serves as a transition to the longest crossing and thus gain experience, or also for those who participate for the first time.

Although we can anticipate that it is easier physically, but it is complicated at the level of plane reading, so be very careful.

The teams will be 3-5 people.

And the Family Cruise, mentioned above, which adapts to a wider audience, is more affordable and allows you to learn about one of the most logistic, attractive and oldest tests of the Guadalentín Sports Games, as well as charming corners of the municipality of Lorca.

The Councilor for Sports, Irene Jódar recalled that 'all those who want to enjoy this magnificent activity, can register until 10/3/2019 to participate in the crossing of this 41 edition next day 5/10/2019 and that leaves from the Parking of the Felipe VI CD at 5:00 p.m. to be directed to the camping area around 6:30 p.m. that enables the organization.

Around 20:30 the crossings will begin and of course an unforgettable adventure.

Already on the morning of Sunday 6/10/2019 we will proceed to know the results, carry out a lunch and return the bus to the parking lot of the Felipe VI CD. '

As Jódar Pérez has pointed out, it is very important that the participants follow the regulations to the letter, so that the functioning of the test is excellent.

A plan adapted to reality will be given to everyone.

In addition, it is necessary to remember and thank all the people who make this test take hold year after year.

The human and logistic staff is brutal and requires a lot of demand and collaboration from everyone. '

However, on Friday, October 4, a previous meeting will be held at the Ramón Arcas Institute at 8:30 p.m. to distribute the departure shifts and answer all the questions and information necessary to face the XLI Night Mountain Crossing.

To get information and process the registration you can do it through the web www.travesianocturna.lorca.es.

The organization recalls that during the test everyone must take into account the absolute importance of respecting all the areas where the crossing takes place, since they are of special protection, and it is also of the utmost importance not to throw any waste, even organic since the volume of people who perform it is quite wide.

In fact, there will be supplies, where participants will be able to dump the waste.

Likewise, all participants should know where they are and not create noise pollution.

From the Guadalentín Sports Games you are invited to know and explore the various corners of the vast Municipal Term of Lorca and its surroundings, and the possibility of doing so by opening a wide range of possibilities.
