3 Days Trail Ibiza’s positive expectations
“The excitement for this year’s edition of 2021 is really high [3 Days Trail Ibiza]. There is a strong willingness to participate in the event, as evidenced by the fact that we have returned to the 2019 levels in terms of participation. Among the nationalities represented this year are Norwegians, Uruguayans, Ecuadorians, Chinese, and Americans.
“No one comes from such a distance to run in Ibiza unless they are driven and keen to appreciate all that the island has to offer through sport,” Fátima Blázquez explains, adding: “The 3 Days Trail Ibiza’s impact outside our borders is expanding.” This year, there may be more than 200 competitors, including those from outside Spain. And there are those who have been here since Monday to enjoy and become acquainted with the island “‘.
The head of Club Trideporte and organizer of the 3 Days Trail Ibiza, however, emphasizes that the event’s “objective” is to grow “slowly” while continually adapting “to what the situation with covid dictates.”
“Now we must grow concurrently with covid. And, while the covid measures remain in place, they are unmistakably different from last year. The start will now include all runners, and catering will take place in the finish area on Saturday, among other things, which simplifies things for us. It’s a very different atmosphere than last year. In any event, I don’t believe that conditions with the covid are still unsatisfactory to consider raising the number of participants “, according to Fátima Blázquez.
