VI Trail dels Far 2020

One of the advantages of living on an island like Menorca, and if you are an exercise lover, is the chance to enjoy almost all year round practicing your favorite sport outdoors.

This coming year you have to take advantage of the training sessions to prepare for Menorca’s VI Trails del Fars 2020, a spectacular race through the landscapes of the island of Menorca to be held on 2 February next year.

And are you ready to face this challenge?

The important thing is that you know your level of physical preparation to sign up for one of the three modalities and finish it satisfactorily. You know that you don’t have to wait for the last moment to start training seriously, as you will only get tired and increase the possibility of injury in the race.

The objective is not necessarily to arrive first, but to arrive well, without injuries and with the satisfaction of having finished the race in a time appropriate to your physical preparation.

Above all, don’t forget to fully enjoy the scenery, the companions and the most remote places of Menorca.

To achieve all this, the best thing is to put yourself in the expert hands of a good team of personal trainers such as Body and Mind Mallorca. We are a team of professionals, with extensive experience in this kind of races and we prepare a personalized program to be in perfect shape on the day of the race and enjoy it to the fullest with more chances of reaching among the first.

Marathon Menorca Trail dels Far 2020

Popular Cursa

  • Absolute Male and Female

This third popular 12 km race will start from Camí de Son Morell.

The goal will be a single meeting point shared by all participants, and is in front of the Municipal Pool Tita Llorens de Ciutadella.

Upon arrival, the participants will have at their disposal a refreshment to replenish their strength in pure Menorcan style with products from the land, various soft drinks, water and, of course, a physiotherapy service, showers and cloakroom.

Facts to take into account for the race

One of the first rules of the race is that only those over the age of 18 can participate. In addition, it is very important to comply with all the regulations imposed by the organization of the event.

Another rule of great importance is that “participants must respect the natural environment in which the test is conducted and keep it clean.

It is clear that the environment suffers with the sudden arrival of so many people and it is our duty to ensure that the impact is minimal, so no matter how tired you are and do not want to carry more, you will have to wait for the garbage containers that are distributed throughout the race.

Each runner will have to bring his own glass, since to minimize the environmental impact no glasses will be served in the refreshment posts.

If you want to participate another year in a race, think that you would like to find the place as clean and cared for as you leave it and for this reason, if the organization finds someone throwing a bottle, a piece of paper or any type of garbage on the ground, the runner will be disqualified immediately.

In order to allow electronic tracking of the race and to take a correct reading of the times, participants must wear the MyLaps chip throughout the course.

To be able to participate, the organization establishes an obligatory material that each athlete will have to take both in the Marathon and in the half Marathon and it is the following one:

  • Hydration system with a minimum capacity of 0.50 L (remember that no glasses will be delivered in the refreshment posts in order to reduce waste).
  • Mobile phone with balance and battery.
  • The number of dorsal in all the gels and sticks of each participant.
  • Thermal blanket.
  • Dorsal and chip

Remember also that the race is demanding, so be realistic when choosing your mode, because putting a challenge beyond your means will only serve to frustrate, tire too much and at worst injure you.

It’s better to stay with the desire to have done more than not seeing the way to the finish line. Start slowly, with the idea of enjoying and you will want to participate in all the races of the following years, discovering each time paradisiacal places and environments.
