Today, January 9, 4300 popular athletes started in Valencia to cover a distance of 10.000 meters. The famous 10k City of Valencia.
They are the ones who, from my point of view, achieve the success of a popular race. Of course, the elite athletes are a very important part of the event, but where the flavor of the race is, it is a few minutes later, where the popular runner appears who, with his sweat, turns the day of the race into a massive crowd.
Behind each one, a reason, a goal, a new challenge, a reason that justifies hours of training, in some cases incredible hours and that is where I think the flavor of a popular race is found.
Two clear examples of what I am saying were taking the start at 10:00 in Valencia with me, each one with their goal, each with their mark to beat, when just a couple of years ago they wore out their shoes on Sundays to go for bread.
Both of them have achieved their objective, their goal and today is a great day for them, and for me I have had the pleasure of seeing their faces upon arrival.
Congratulations.
