Cros Cidade de Pontevedra - 6K

The programme lists a combined S23, senior and master mixed classification, a combined S16, S18 and S20 mixed classification, a Cadete mixed race, and races for Infantil, Alevín and Benxamín age groups. Each group races separately across the morning.

The venue is A Illa das Esculturas, a riverside sculpture park on the edge of Pontevedra in Galicia. It is a green, open space beside the water, so the course runs on park ground rather than on closed roads.

Grippy cross country spikes or trail shoes suit the park ground far better than road flats, particularly if it has rained in the days before the race. Bring a spare pair of shoes and a change of socks for afterwards.

Cross country races in Galicia are usually run in club kit, and team classifications depend on it. If you are entering through a club, confirm the vest with your team before race day.

Yes. Cross country courses in open parks are easy to follow, and spectators can usually move between a few points on the loop to see runners more than once. The riverside setting makes it a comfortable morning out for families.
