Oropesa del Mar prepares to celebrate the third edition of 'Get up running'

Next Sunday the municipality will celebrate the first route of the program with Vía Verde del Mar 

to promote sports and tourism in the town. The councilor for sports, Sonia Bellés, explained: "Uniting heritage and sport is a great opportunity to publicize the potential of our municipality and promote healthy habits among citizens." 

This initiative develops running training sessions guided by members of the Orpesa Corre Association and the L'Atall Club for different places of the Orpesa del Mar beach, the Vía Verde del Mar, the 'Serra d'Orpesa' and the Prat de Cabanes Torreblanca Natural Park during the months of July and August. In this way, the participating people will be able to get to know the most emblematic places of the town in a healthy environment together with a group of people who share the same hobbies. 

The first meeting of this program will take place on next sunday july 2, where 40 runners and runners will meet to face the Vía Verde del Mar route with a distance of 8km. All the routes planned within this program have an approximate distance of 7.5 -14 km and will leave at 8:00 a.m. from the tourist office on La Concha beach. The mayoress of the town, Araceli de Moya, has taken the opportunity to explain the spirit of this proposal: "With this type of initiative we seek to reinforce our commitment to sports tourism, a strategy that allows us to promote the cultural and heritage wealth of Oropesa del Mar."  

Along with this action are added  other programs such as Orpesa Activa and the different sports events and activities that are held in the town throughout the year to offer citizens a varied sports offer. 

After this first meeting, the program will organize its second tour next Sunday July 16 where the participants will discover the landscape potential on the route to the Mirador de Oropesa del Mar.
