This Friday the 28th, starting at 7:00 p.m., in the Shed G of the Costanera Vuelta Formosa, the 2023 “Gerardo Re” Ultramarathon was launched with the presence of local authorities and competitors from different provinces and countries.

It will take place this Saturday the 29th, from 6:00 a.m., in the same Costanera with the categories of 30K, 50K, 100K and Copa Argentina 50K.

In this regard, the head of the Social Assistance Institute (IAS), Edgar Pérez, spoke with AGENFOR and highlighted the importance of the 5th edition of this sporting activity in the province that will have the participation of more than 230 registered athletes and the support of the Government of the Province that collaborates in logistics, including the preparation of the circuit and the delivery of kits. .

“The warmth of the organization has allowed the Argentine Ultradistance Association (AAU) to have trusted Formosa to host the only date of the Argentine Cup,” he said.

And he added: “How important it is for Formosa, to return to host, to show ourselves again as what we are and that it is the Government of the Province of Formosa that is promoting and supporting this sport, of course, fills us with pride.”

Likewise, the official explained that competitors from all over Argentina participate in the event and also from other countries such as Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Mexico that “re-elect Formosa.”

“Some to look for a brand, others to enjoy again what they consider, said from their own mouth, the warmth of the people of Formosa as they have treated it in previous editions, repeat experiences, meet other athletes again, others on the way to a preparation as athletes who are representing Argentina”, he indicated.

Finally, Pérez assured that this competition is possible, once again in Formosa, freely and for free, because “there is a State present” and a “government that has public policies” that not only thinks of local athletes but also of the visitors.
