The tenth anniversary of the Trail La Vegueta Sam Parfums achieved new success by proclaiming its new winners. Valeria Borges crowned the queen’s 10.5km event in the women’s category with a time of 55:00, as did Rayco Hernández and Óscar Padrón, in the men’s category, entering the finish line together in 41:31.
This family atmosphere, of camaraderie and sportsmanship, is precisely what represents the essence of this event, which once again left great images of camaraderie in its four modalities, since in addition to the 10.5 and 5.5 km circuits, there are also the participants in Trekking and the always special Chinijos Trail race held the day before. All of these make the La Vegueta Sam Parfums Trail one of the favourite popular competitions for local athletes, managing to exceed 400 participants in this edition.
For the mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, this event has a “special charisma because it is organized by young people from the town with great care, proudly offering a healthy event that is attended by hundreds of people from all over the island every year.” The Councilor for Sports, Vianney Rodríguez, ratified the mayor’s words and added that “the municipality’s commitment to this discipline is demonstrated by the celebration of the Tinajo Popular Races Cup”, for which the 10.5km of the Veguetera race is valid. To finish, he recalled that “more than 4,000 participants have already participated in this humble race.”
So much so that the 10.5km event filled its 160 places before the closing of registrations, and this route is also very popular as it forms part of the Tinajo Popular Race Cup circuit. In the women’s category, Cristina Molina (57:54) and Laura Ponce (58:18) completed the podium alongside Borges. As did the triathlete Nicholas Ward (42:24), who accompanied the men’s category champions.
The organisers, led by the La Vegueta Festival Committee, wanted to celebrate this special edition in style by inviting all the historic winners of the race. This was the case of Hugo Pérez, who repeated last year’s triumph in the 5.5km with a great time of 21:24; followed by Nicolás Hernández (23:20) and Sadday Delgado (23:20).
Anya Lamprecht was the winner of that same circuit in the women’s category, after stopping the clock at 28:37. Aurora García (30:49) won the silver medal, while Idaira Alfonso (31:37) won the bronze in what was her spectacular return to this competition that she already won in 2014, 2015, 2016 and in 2018.
The awards ceremony was then held in absolute categories, where the medalists were also presented with a basket of local products from the municipality of Tinajo. In addition, the first place winners were given a basket from Sam Parfums, and the second place winners were awarded a free session at Fisiosan.
The celebration on the different podiums served to put the finishing touch on an atmosphere of joy, since we must not forget that this 10th Trail La Vegueta Sam Parfums is celebrated in the middle of the festivities of Our Lady of Regla and they still have an extensive program of activities for the next few days.
