Are you eager to sign up for a new quality challenge? ๐จ Are you a fan of semi-marathons? ๐จ Come over here, we'll introduce you to the Semi-Marathon Verde de Oviedo. If we've piqued your curiosity, we'll leave you with the rest. It's in the province of Asturias, in Oviedo, where the festivities take place ๐. Wondering where it is? It's in the land of flamenco ๐: Spain! ๐ช๐ธ The semi was born in 2018 thanks to the Club des Sports Mร s o Menos! ๐ฝ This year, it will already be the 6th edition, and no need to say they've earned their stripes โ๏ธ. To honor this club that has worked so hard for such a project to come to life, the start will be from the Sports Palace! ๐ซ You will pass through places like the Matalablima football field๐๏ธ, and the Senda Verde "the green trail"๐ฟ. The finish is on the Plaza Alfonzo II El Casto! The Semi-Marathon Verde de Oviedo is one of the most popular races in Asturias ๐.
This is not the only action that the Club des Sports Mร s o Menos has implemented in the city of Oviedo ๐ช. They use sport as a tool for awareness of rare diseases and social causes ๐ซถ. In 2018, after years of organizing charity races, the Semi-Marathon Verde de Oviedo was born, an event of running that unites nature, culture, and solidarity ๐. Moreover, you can, while registering, make a donation to the Galbร n association, which actively fights against childhood diseases ๐ฌ.
Since you are in Spain, why not enjoy a bit? ๐คญ The race offers a guided and free tour of Casco Antiguo, the old town of Oviedo ๐ธ. It will take place on Saturday, the day before the race. During your walk, you will probably pass by the San Salvador Cathedral โช, a monument dating from the Roman era, standing 80 meters high! ๐ต For a bit of culture, you should visit the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias ๐จ. The different sections abound with thousands of classical and contemporary works, some by Dali and Picasso! ๐จโ๐จ For an outing in nature, we have the perfect plan: The stone churches of Oviedo! ๐คฉ It's thanks to them that the city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site ๐. One of the most important is Santa Marรญa del Naranco, built in the verdant valley of Naranco ๐ณ, above the city, and dedicated to King Ramire I ๐. And yes, we're not shy about giving you a little history lesson.
Alright, enough chit-chat, when do we get down to business? ๐ฅ
