The Eivissa Town Council, with the technical assistance of the Pitiús Athletics Club, has organised the 7th edition of the Eivissa World Heritage 10k Fun Run, which will take place on the 10th of December.
While this year’s route will be similar to that of previous years, the start and finish lines have been moved to the Passeig Joan Carles I due to the pedestrianization of the Passeig Vara de Rey.
Another novelty this year is the day of the race, which has been moved to Saturday in an effort to facilitate the participation of athletes who are obliged to travel from outside the island.
In the opinion of the Eivissa Town Council Councillor for Sports, Agustín Perea, this is a very special race as it takes in all the town’s cultural heritage areas, this 7th edition confirming the event’s status as a permanent fixture on the island’s sporting calendar.
Three distances have been established in order to cater for the various categories:
1st Race: 600m – Benjamín (children born in 2008 or 2009), Alevín (children born in 2006 and 2007) and Special Category). Start: 4 pm
