Alcala-Alcossebre Council sponsors Javi Lozano who will be participating in the French National Ultramarathon Championship

Francisco Juan, Mayor of Alcala-Alcossebre, and local athlete Javier Lozano have signed an agreement for the Council to subsidise his participation in the 24 hours section of the French National Ultramarathon Championship, which will be held on the 24th and 25th October in Albi.  This subsidy will defray the registration and accommodation costs the athlete will have to meet.  Lozano bears the Alcala-Alcossebre name and logo on his sports equipment and therefore, the Mayor assessed, “besides collaborating with him because of the social interest in the sport, his participation in national and international championships spreads the name of our municipality”.

The aim given by the ultramarathon sportsman regarding this next competition, is to “exceed the level of 224 kilometres in 24 hours and achieve the classification for the next World Championship which will be held in Timisoara”. (Romania)
