LOS BANDIDOS runners travelled further afield this weekend to participate in the Benidorm Half Marathon and 10k on Saturday 23 November and the Roquetas Half Marathon on Sunday 24 November.
Los Bandidos Tackle the Benidorm Half Marathon
20 Los Bandidos runners travelled to Benidorm for a much bigger event than they usually attend, with over 6000 runners taking part in the two distances. They didn t manage to get everyone in the same team photo, as some were taking a siesta instead of attending the photo call! The course was hillier than they expected but there were some great times, although they won no trophies on this occasion. The race was well organized, with amazing support from everyone out enjoying the Benidorm nightlife as well as their own supporters. All runners received a commemorative t-shirt, a goody bag, which included chocolate, and a finisher’s medal.
A Memorable Weekend of Racing: Benidorm and Roquetas
They had one runner at the Roquetas Half Marathon and junior member, Guillermo Moscardo Chérel, who represented Los Bandidos in the postponed II Carrera Solidaria de RANPJN in Vera. He came 3rd in his age group.
Los Bandidos, founded in 2018, welcomes runners of all abilities and supports local causes like the Red Cross Christmas Toy Appeal. Follow them on Facebook to join their adventures!
