The race rewards the effort of the participants in a race that is fully integrated in the programme of this 15th edition.
The commitment of Transvulcania adidas TERREX with adapted sport is firm and was demonstrated this Saturday, on the big day of the race in Palma, with the celebration of the joelette race, a competition where the participants put into practice the true values of sport.
Starting at the Mirador de El Time and finishing in Los Llanos de Aridane, the race was held in much milder weather than the rest of the Saturday's events, so participants were able to enjoy this year's Transvulcania adidas TERREX race, thanks to an initiative of the organisation and its commitment to accessibility and the visualisation of adapted sports.
With a profile not exempt of hardness the participants started the route with a vertiginous descent towards the Puerto de Tazacorte to then apply themselves in the ascent to Los Llanos where they made the entry in the mythical finish line of the race in La Palma.
After a titanic effort by the participants Carlos Neris Expósito was first at the finish line with a time of 1h.55:26 while Lorena Rodríguez Acosta (Atletas Sin Fronteras) was second (2h.00:13) and Isabel Elvira Armas Pérez (Pichón Trail Project) finished in third position (2h.04:20).
The Transvulcania adidas TERREX also included in the framework of its activities an exhibition of the sports support dog modality where Vanessa Hernández and Enzo, accompanied by Cahui, were present.
"Transvulcania is a celebration of the human spirit, of self-improvement and love for our island, and that spirit must be inclusive, welcoming to all those who wish to live this unique experience", said Sergio Rodríguez, president of the Cabildo Insular de La Palma.
The Transvulcania adidas TERREX is organised by the Cabildo Insular de La Palma through the public company SODEPAL, with the support of the Government of the Canary Islands, through the Department of Tourism and Promotur with its brand "Islas Canarias Latitud de Vida", as well as the companies 226ERS, Hotel H10 Taburiente Playa, Hotel La Palma Princess, Hotel Meliá La Palma, Fred.
