Lledo Andres prepares for new challenges spread across desert, mountain and jungle in places like Australia, Europe and Brazil.

Also, will also participate in the route of the Strengths and then start in May covering part of the legendary route across Australia from north to south.

The Councillor for Sports, Diego Ortega and Miguel Ángel Jiménez, of Jimbofresh, corporate sponsor of the athlete, the athlete accompanied during his presentation.

Lledo seeks greater challenges every year and represent Cartagena in each of their tests.

This year has removed one of them, staying three challenges distributed as follows:

- The Track: 520 kilometers Australian soil, covering part of the legendary route across Australia from north to south, which held for nine days in May.

- The Transalpine Run: 270 km 30,000 vertical meters across Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.

It will be the end of August or early September when start this second route.

- Jungle Marathon: 250 km s by the Amazon rainforest that will meet during the month of October to end of the year.

All testing should be performed solo, except Transalpine Run, that will mate with another duo.

The athlete has said that all tests have their risk, such as Jungle Marathon, that being the Amazon jungle is more dangerous parts of Australia is made ​​from north to south, are 2,000 kilometers but do a route of 540 kilometers and the Transalpine has its difficulties in the 30,000 meters of altitude and it is not my specialty.

European Route perhaps that can resist a little more, since according to the athlete himself: I'm not used to running with both slope and have never raced in pairs, but good to do a duet, we'll support in the parts we are harder.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez, responsible for Jimbofresh, company sponsoring the athlete has expressed its strong support to Lledo: For the values ​​whose effort, sacrifice and above all, believe in yourself, your safety, your humility.

The Councillor for Sports, Diego Ortega wanted to thank Jimbofresh, cartagenera company, supporting athletes as Andres Lledo and said we are organizing visits by colleges of Cartagena, within the program of ADE Approach to Sport à ‰ lite, for Andres Lledo forward them these sporting values.
