Organised under IAU rules, major Spanish ultra club Ñ Ultrafondo set a fantastic scenario for new experiences and chances for good performances. All asphalted and mostly flat 1.000m course got soaked well before race starting time arrived.
Though, Jose Manso (ESP) got a 216,100m PB for a local win after 8h hours on a row under the rain. (more…)
