This backing from the food company from La Palma consolidates its support for the race aimed at the youngest runners, one of the most emblematic modalities of the Transvulcania to be held in the Refugio de El Pilar.
The Transvulcania Kids-Junior SPAR La Palma will be held next Friday 9 May 2025, starting at 16:30, serving as a prelude to the main competitions. The Refugio de El Pilar, renowned for being the cradle of initiation of numerous runners who have later participated in competitive Transvulcania races, will once again be the setting for this event. Registration for the Transvulcania Kids-Junior SPAR La Palma 2025 Transvulcania is now open free of charge through the official website www.transvulcania.com. Places will be limited and there will be several different categories starting with those born from 2008 onwards.
In addition to its sponsorship in the Kids-Junior category, SPAR La Palma will continue to support the other distances of the Transvulcania, supplying products for the various refreshment points, as it has done in previous editions. The supermarket chain, present in all the municipalities of the island, is distinguished by its commitment to the runners, providing a wide variety of products and offering the necessary catering for the members of the organisation and the logistical support of the event.
As every year, SPAR La Palma will launch through its SPARLink application a selection of exclusive discounts for runners registered in each of the modalities.
On the occasion of the celebration of the race, SPAR La Palma will activate a promotional campaign throughout the week in each of its points of sale, present in all the municipalities of the island. This initiative reinforces the company's commitment to sport and sustainable development on the island of La Palma.
The president of the Cabildo de La Palma, Sergio Rodríguez, stresses the importance of continuing to encourage the children of the island to take part in the trail race par excellence with the aim of encouraging their interest and participation in sporting activities, which not only promote healthy lifestyle habits but also a series of values, such as perseverance, sportsmanship and effort in the new generations.
Rodríguez also stresses the island corporation's commitment to "give Transvulcania back to the people of La Palma, something for which it is essential to have the support of local companies, which are a key part of the organisation and development of the event".
The SPAR La Palma Supermarkets network has declared: "SPAR La Palma is proud to continue walking with Transvulcania, especially in such a significant modality as the Kids-Junior. Betting on grassroots sport is betting on the future of our island. We know that this is where not only the athletes of tomorrow are formed, but also the values of effort, companionship and love for our environment. That is why we maintain our commitment to this event and to all initiatives that promote the healthy and sustainable growth of La Palma. This alliance not only has a sporting component, but also a social, educational and emotional one, which we reaffirm once again this year, being our fifteenth edition".
