"However we will include the creation of this event in our electoral program since the Consistory, a year later, still does not clarify whether they accept this proposal or not"

Ciudadanos proposed in May 2017 the creation of a booming sporting event that attracts large numbers of people, in the style of the "Route of the Fortresses" of Cartagena.

A year later, we still have no response from the City Council.

This type of tests, which compete on foot or running, runs, almost entirely, outside the urban area, so that the circulation of vehicles is not impaired as if it happens in other events such as the recently celebrated Triathlon, in which, despite the latest advances, which have greatly reduced the damage to traffic, we still believe there is a lot of room for improvement.

In this type of sporting event, which attracts a large number of people, the participants stay a few minutes in the urban area they leave, to enter our natural paths following paths designed to make known our best spots, coves, monuments and places of interest .

"We have proposed names like" Urci Trail "," Ruta del Esparto "or" Esparto Trail ", which are striking and even sympathetic names" commented Francisco Martínez, Coordinator of the Orange Training.

"This type of events attracts, as do other massive tests, a large number of people of all ages, sports lovers, but without any of the disadvantages of other tests." In Cartagena, this year 2018, more than 8,000 requests have been submitted. for a total of 3,800 places, the selection of a good date for its celebration would undoubtedly help to deseasonalise our tourism and, at the same time, make known all this natural and landscape environment so incredible that Águilas has ".

The training expects the City Council to take advantage of this opportunity and implement this sporting event on strategically selected dates.

"However," said Martinez, "we will include its creation in our electoral program given that the Consistory, a year later, still does not clarify whether they accept this proposal or not."
