Villarrael CF’s Ciudad Deportiva hosted the presentation of the agreement between Villarreal CF and Penyagolosa Trails HG. Tico Cervera, director of Penyagolosa Trails HG, and Jose Manuel Llaneza, vicepresident of the club, have signed the sponsorship.

 

In its desire to support the provincial sport, Villarreal CF supports Penyagolosa Trails HG. This event joins Endavant Esports project. This support has been immortalized by a representation of the first squad, with the football players Cédric Bakambu, Nicola Sansone, Manu Trigueros and Daniele Bonera as protagonists.

As in previous editions, MiM and CSP are in the 2017 list of scoring races on the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®, with the same scores of last season. In this way, CSP has 3 points (5 new points) and MiM 2 points (4 new points) For 2018 entries, Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® will only accept the new points system. The evalution of the races and, therefore, the attribution of the points, is managed by the ITRA (International Trail Running Association). The organization of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®, based on the points attributed by ITRA, is who decides if a race has all the criteria to be scoring, and to be inscribed in the list.
