The most important popular test of the weekend will be the Run for Parkinson’s popular race that is included in the Ruta091-Kilometros solidarios organized by the National Police and that has a charitable character, since all the proceeds from the inscriptions will go to the Lorquina Association of Parkinson’s patients (ASLEP). It will be from 11 am with departure from the Plaza de la Policia Nacional. About 500 runners of different ages are expected to participate.
