Charity Run in Alcala to mark International Women’s Day
The Charity run, part of the Women’s Day programme, took place on Friday, 11th March, with around one hundred people taking part. Participants ran the two kilometres route through the town’s streets, starting and finishing in the Church Square. Men and women of all ages took part.
Daniel Garcia was the fastest to cross the line in 7 mins.1 sec. Lluís Garcia and Rubén Fresquet were second and third respectively. It was not a competitive run. The profits from the 3 euros paid by each participant were for the local Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer and every runner received a commemorative t-shirt for the event.
After the run, the Church Square was the location for pupils from the secondary school to read a poem by Mario Benedetti and for the presentation of prizes for the drawing competition for Women’s Day to Dafne, Rita, Lena and Gisela from the Lo Campanar school and Mario, Lilla, Magdalena, Gema, Dalia and Aroa from La Mola. This was followed by a zumba class and aerobics.
