The 60th edition of “Mi primer cross” was a great success, in the words of the organization. The test was solved yesterday morning, Saturday, on the Avilés estuary promenade, in the park of the old Ensidesa apprenticeship school, with a sunny and appetizing day for a first contact with athletics.
Hundreds of young people between eight and sixteen years old gathered on a one-kilometer route designed by the technical manager of Athletics at Bikila Atlética Avilesina. Except for two specific gravel points, the rest of the circuit ran on the green, under the gaze of countless companions proud of their little ones. “A great event for many children to have the first contact with athletics after the stoppage due to the pandemic,” they celebrated from the organization.
