Hola!
WALK #306: The “2nd Marcha of Hondón de los Frailes” will take place on Sunday, 14th December, starting from the Town Hall Square at 09.30am. This is a 10Km route with a height gain of 235m, starting on tarmac and then going onto forest tracks on the hillside. Last year a similar route attracted people of all ages, including quite a few who you would not normally expect to see walking this distance. ( » PDF Fact Sheet Here [English])
The event is organised by ABREPASO,
a walking and running organisation, and the Hondón de los Frailes Town
Hall and all are invited to participate. More information is available,
in Spanish at: http://www.abrepaso.comuv.com/sobre_nosotros.php However, I have made a rough translation, attached to cover the major points.
Registration and Fee: To participate you need to
register beforehand, which you may do online up to 10th December or
outside the Town Hall on Saturdays 29th November and 6 December between
10.00 and 13.00.
The registration fee is €3.00, paid at the time of
registration, plus 2Kg of non-perishable food which has to be handed
over when you collect your official number on Saturday December 13th
from 10:00 to 12:00 and 17:00 to 19:00 in the plaza of the village of
Hondón de los Frailes and on the day of the event from 8:00 to 9:00. You
will also need to present ID to get your number!
