As reported by the Councilor for Sports, Joaquín López, this past weekend was held with great success of participation the XXIX International Trophy Murcia Costa Cálida.
A competition that corresponds to the second test of the Spanish Orienteering League and which has been held in Cehegín and Caravaca.
A display that has demonstrated the organizational capacity of the municipality and an event that has had a significant economic impact, since the hotel spaces of the urban center and rural accommodations have reached practically one hundred percent occupancy during these days.
This test of orientation is the second in antiquity in Spain and throughout all the editions celebrated has been consolidated as the best Spanish test of this specialty, thanks to its technical and organizational quality.
In total, 1,234 athletes were registered for both the medium and long distance events, which took place in Caravaca de la Cruz, and for the 'sprint' test of Cehegín, held last Saturday in the streets of the Old Town.
All of them, according to the organization, generated around 1,000 overnight stays filling hotels, hostels and tourist apartments in all areas of the northwest.
The competition was attended by 824 national athletes and 410 international athletes from 16 countries (Belgium, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine).
Among the international highlights was the presence of Scandinavians, which reached 297 runners.
The Edil de Deportes has highlighted the effort made and the high degree of satisfaction that the organization has left in the participants and the desire that this geographical area be a permanent place for holding Guidance events.
