On Sunday, April 22 will take place the First March of the Cartagena Mar Menor Cycle Touring, whose departure point has been set in the vicinity of the Cartagonova Stadium at 9 o'clock.
The sporting event has been organized by the Club Ciclista de Cartagena with the collaboration of the City of Cartagena and the Los Alcázares, as well as the Cycling Federation of Murcia.
The presentation was given by the mayor of Deportes, Obdulia Gómez;
who has been accompanied by the president of the Cartagena Cycling Club, Diego Sánchez;
and the Secretary of the Club, Francisco Díez.
The councilor has reported that the route set for the cyclist tour is 116 kilometers, which will pass through the natural environment of the eastern part of the Campo de Cartagena region and the Ribera del Mar Menor.
He also indicated that the Department of Sports has made available to the march the material means and the necessary people and is carried out a joint work with the Local Police and the Civil Guard to ensure the success of the race and that there are no mishaps in the circuit.
Gómez has also highlighted the experience of the Club Ciclista de Cartagena in the development of these marches, since for 27 years they had been organizing one of similar characteristics during the festivities of Carthaginians and Romans.
For his part, Diego Sanchez said that the decision to change the date is to "change the air and travel," which this year will pass La Palma, Pozo Estrecho, Albujón, Lobosillo and Balsapintada.
From Balsapintada it will turn towards the East towards Roldán until Los Alcázares, where a stop will be made for the solid provisioning.
The second part of the March will continue in the direction of Roda, to take the Ribera del Mar Menor through Los Alcázares to Los Urrutias and Los Nietos.
In the Belones the hardest part of the march will be approached, since the act of Las Cenizas will be crowned, and after crossing the Portman, it will go through the ramps at the top of La Cruz Chiquita.
Finally, at the junction of La Esperanza, the peloton will regroup to make a pleasant descent towards the finish line, entering Cartagena again through the port area.
Sanchez has reported that the participation of 150 cyclists is expected and that the City Council of Los Alcázares have donated the trophies, which will be given to the youngest cyclist, the oldest and the most numerous club, since the objective of the march is not reward the order of arrival, but make cycling visible and bet on a healthy lifestyle.
Finally, Díez has indicated that the registrations can be made on the website of the Cyclist Club and on the website lineadesalida.net and thanked the work of the collaborators, "since without them this march would not be possible", he concluded.
The registration fee is 20 euros for participants with a license issued by the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation and 30 euros for those who do not.
The members of the Cartagena Cycling Club with a federal license will pay 15 euros and those who do not have 25 euros.
