The Catalan Ultra Trail, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the mountains over a 170 km course with 9,800m of positive elevation gain, brought together nearly 900 runners. The stage of the course through the heights of Maureillas-las-Illas on Saturday, October 3rd, allowed participants to discover the territory and benefit from a warm welcome at the aid station.
Beyond the sporting performances, a significant local mobilization marked the event. A team of volunteers helped animate the area in front of the annex-mairie of Las Illas throughout the day, despite the rain that arrived in the late afternoon.
The organization of this event aims to promote the Vallespir region. Special thanks were extended to the inhabitants of Las Illas, including municipal councilor Julien Osvald, who actively participated in organizing the stage, thus contributing to its smooth running and success.
