Representatives of the Navy and the Athletics Federation have explained to the students of the Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and of Higher Education, the difficulties and the keys to success in the organization of high participation and rapid growth events, as the Route of the Strengths or Playing Athletics.

The day, bilingual, was held at the Roman Theater Museum

The Faculty of Sports of the San Antonio Catholic University has held a bilingual summer course on the Organization of Athletics Events at the Museum of the Roman Theater of Cartagena, in a day in which, thanks to the collaboration of the Spanish Navy and the Federation Regional Athletics, the students of the Professional Training Cycle of Sociodeportive Animation and the Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences of the Campus of Los Dolores have been able to know how the main sports and popular sports events of the region are organized, such as the Route of the Strengths and 'Playing athletics'.

The coordinator of this course, Caridad Hernández, explained that "What is intended is to teach students how they began to organize this type of event, the setbacks and difficulties they face and how they have been solving them. the event 'Playing athletics' began with 200 participants at the regional level and today there are 3,000, which means that the progression has been very clear, like that of the Ruta de las Fortalezas, which is increasingly successful. He has a very big organization behind him, and that is what they have explained to the students so that they know how they got to where they are now. "

For his part, Commander Ricardo Noval, assigned to the General Albacete Fuster Marine Infantry School, explained that the organization of the main popular route in the southeast, in which UCAM Cartagena collaborates, "is very similar to a military planning by the wide structure that the race has, and the difficulties that can be found in any career that is organized. "

In this sense, he has recommended that "before making the information of a career public, they have it tied up, because nowadays social networks can generate controversy in these cases, which require environmental permits, security, etc."

In addition, the technical director of the Athletics Federation and organizer of different athletic events such as 'Playing Athletics', Patricia Paz, stressed that thanks to this program "we have been carrying athletics to schools for 13 years, applying the international model Atletic Kit, which consists of adapting the federated athletics to any space, climate and material in ages between 8 and 12. It all started in a very humble way, with material manufactured by the same monitors, and then an investment was made to increase the practice of athletics through the children of the schools ".
