A tradition that lasts in time
On Saturday, April 5, the start of a new stage for the FER Circuit, an emblematic event that brings together a series of mountain competitions in the Alt Urgell region. This is the sixteenth edition of a circuit that has won a prominent place in the Catalan sports calendar, consolidating itself as an unmissable date for outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Races that challenge the limits
The inauguration of the circuit will take place with the Boumort Marathon, one of the most recognized and demanding races, with a route of 46 kilometers and a slope that exceeds 2,150 meters. This competition will not only test the resistance of the participants, but also will offer an unforgettable experience in a spectacular natural environment.
Calendar of exciting races
During the following months, the Circuit Fest will offer a total of 12 competitions, including the Tour of Peramola on April 19, the Berén-Sant Quiri on May 3, and many others until the end of October. Each race promises unique challenges and opportunities for runners of all levels.
Commitment to community and sustainability
Carlos Guàrdia, a member of the Urgellenca Hiking Union (UEU), has expressed the desire to maintain the popular essence of the circuit, with a quality goal instead of only quantity. Last year, the circuit attracted 2,750 participants, and this year the goal is to continue improving the experience for all involved.
Inclusion and diversity in races
The races will also include journeys for young people and the opportunity to participate in mixed teams, an initiative that fosters inclusivity and fun in the competition. This reflects a commitment to sports education and the creation of a community environment.
Institutional Suport I Social Impact
The President of the Alt Urgell County Council, Josefina Lladós, emphasized the importance of the Circuit Fer not only in the sporting field, but also as a driving force for the villages that host the races. His contribution to social cohesion and local tourism is undeniable.
An opportunity to rediscover the territory
In addition, many of the FE Circuit routes are part of the Pyrenees Camina trail network, which facilitates the recovery of old roads and promotes local culture. Amàlia Sanz, director of the Institute for the Development of the Alt Pirineu i Aran, emphasized that this event is essential to keep the Pyrenean identity alive.
Key collaborations for success
The Fem Circuit is supported by various organizations, including the Cooperativa Cadí, Pum, and other local entities, which work together to ensure that each edition is a resounding success.
