The last weekend of the XXXIX Sports Games of Guadalentín come brimming with tests to energize these last days of Lorca's Olympics: 12 activities will be held until Sunday, many of them popular.
This Friday afternoon, from 17 hours, we will have the Day of Popular Games and sand castles in the Plaza de España.
Children and not so children will be able to play marbles, veneers, to dance the top, to throw the ray, the olive bone and to jump the camber.
But just like last year there will be an artificial beach so the little ones can make sand castles, completing a fun afternoon of outdoor play for everyone.
In addition, the course "The future of Physical Education: new approaches and methodological applications" will continue with sessions on Friday and Saturday.
After its debut last year the Fencing returns to the Lorca Olympics through the II City Tournament of Lorca which will feature the participation of more than fifty fencers.
Between 9 and 14 hours the Felipe VI Sports Complex will host the foil competitions, reserving the afternoon for sword tournaments.
Meanwhile, but on the slopes of La Torrecilla, will be held a new edition of the Youth Paddle Tournament.
Some thirty U-14 and U-18 players will face each other in this competition that allows us to contemplate the progress of the youngest paddle players in the municipality.
The Orientation also has room in this program through an interesting course of initiation that will be celebrated in the morning of Saturday.
Between 10 and 11 hours the Sports House will host a theoretical session in which the monitors of the Club Lorca-O will announce the first guidelines that will be put into practice in La Alamedas.
Anyone who comes to contemplate this activity has to stop, yes or no, in the Alameda de la Constitución.
And is that the friends of the Aeromodelling Club will carry out the traditional static exhibition so that those who walk through this area between 10 and 13:30 can see planes, helicopters, drones and models of all kinds of surprising shapes and sizes.
But the planes have to fly and so on Sunday will be held the Concentration in the Flight Field of Torrealvilla, a show that we encourage to know between 9 and 12.30 hours, before the awards ceremony.
Let's go back to the morning of Saturday, because the Games are returning to Almendricos with the Base Soccer Tournament of Pedanías in which all the young people of the different districts that wish to participate can participate.
The afternoon is not far behind.
We started at 16 hours with the Taekwondo Exhibition that will bring together dozens of fighters from across the Region.
The spectators who come to the Pavilion of San Jose will be able to contemplate both the own exhibition as pumse, or combat, of all the categories.
At 16.30 hours on the athletic track "Úrsula Ruiz" is celebrated one of the classic tests of the Lorca Olympics: the Grand Prix Gráficos Mariano de Athletics, where both young and experienced athletes will have the opportunity to compete in a long list of disciplines speed, jump, background or launch.
And at 16:45 the San Antonio Pool hosts another of the weekend's highlights: the VII Swimming Trophy City of Lorca.
More than 350 swimmers from 14 regional clubs will participate in this consolidated tournament that will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Lorca Swimming Club over the top.
We continue on Sunday and we do it with the Popular Race Run for Parkinson's that leaves at 10 from the Alameda Virgen de las Huertas.
The traditional race will have a length of 6 kms.
and in addition to the charity solidarity will be the last test of the local calendar of popular races.
After the big race will be held those aimed at younger riders, including the race for the tiny backpacks.
After two weeks of qualifying matches, the Tennis Tournament comes to an end on Sunday morning.
From 9:30 am onwards, the Los Alamos Tennis Club's clay courts will decide who is taking the gold and who is the silver of this competition characterized by its great level.
Healthy Monday next week will visit La Paca;
the personal trainer Antonio Jesús Vidal, Magnifit, will travel to the IESO Pedanías Altas Pavilion to give the last directed session of this healthy activity.
And on Wednesday he will say goodbye Playing Athletics on the Street, the initiation activity of Eliocroca Athletics that will be on the Runner.
On Thursday will be the farewell with the traditional Cycle-Walk through the streets of Lorca.
But before, as we can see, we will enjoy a wide and varied agenda for Lorca to enjoy the sport and its Sports Games del Guadalentín.
