CASTLE Vistabella del Maestrat is preparing to host a new edition of one of the steepest mountain races on the national calendar. Next August 6, the town of Castellón will celebrate the sixteenth anniversary of the Vistabella Mountain Race.
The Penyagolosa test, organized by the Town Hall and the local Mountain Club, will be held on a demanding circuit of 28 kilometers with 1,500 meters of unevenness positive. A route that combines very fast sections with strong unevenness concentrated in the final part. A delight for runners.
Attractive is its layout and the environment in which it takes place. And it is that the sixth round of the Lliga de Curses per Muntanya Castelló Nord runs through one of the most emblematic natural areas of the province: the Natural Park of Penyagolosa. Popular for its scenic and natural beauty, but also for the mystery and mysticism that this magical mountain gives off.
One more year the Cursa per Muntanya de Vistabella will have an international character. And it is that for the first time the event will be included in the calendar of the World Mountain Running Association (WMRA). A milestone that will allow it to share the calendar with highly prestigious events such as Sierre – Zinal, K42 or Canfranc-Canfranc and that will attract some of the best trail runners of the moment.
To be able to enjoy this classic Levantine event, you will have to be fast. And it is that only 450 numbers will be put up for sale. The registration process for this sixteenth anniversary of the test will begin this Thursday, June 15 at 6:30 p.m.
Sixth meeting of the Racing League for Montanya Castelló Nord
The Vistabella Mountain Race will be the sixth event of the North Castelló Mountain Race League. A circuit made up of eight competitions whose main objective is to promote sports tourism and stimulate the local economy of the towns in the interior of the province.
Towns that, like Vistabella del Maestrat, throw themselves fully into the event. And it is that the 300 inhabitants of this small town give themselves every year in body and soul to turn the race into a real trail party.
