A NEW DISTANCE FOR THE ADVANCED The Advanced race will experience one of the most attractive modifications for 2018. “This ultradistance race will change to facilitate the leap from the Marathon to a higher distance”, states Fernando González, sports and communication manager of Arista Eventos, company in charge of the race. The Advanced course will begin in Artenara and will have a 64 km track with 3,200 metres of positive gain. “Having the chance to host one of Transgrancanaria’s races start offers the opportunity to set Artenara in the world’s trail running map, and reinforces our town as one of the most important touristic destinations in Gran Canaria for this sport”, explained Roberto García, mayor of Artenara. From Artenara, the runners will go through the Riscos de Chapín and Los Moriscos to Tejeda, where they will connect with the traditional course of the race.
