The Solidarity Race of Playa Blanca exceeds its collection record
The Solidarity Race of Playa Blanca held this Sunday on the southern seafront left a total of 9,000 euros to be divided between the ‘Creciendo Yaiza’ Association, which serves children with special educational needs, and AsperCan, an entity that defends the rights of people with Asperger’s syndrome, in such a way that the solidarity of the nearly 400 registered in the test plus the contributions of people who compared t-shirts without running and those who made donations achieved a collection record in eight years of activity.
In the sports field, Francisco Viñoly stood out among the men and Bella Bayliss among the women, being the fastest in the 5-kilometer course of the absolute category. Viñoly scored a time of 15 min, escorted by Stephen Bayliss (15: 36m) and Jorge Carlos Wilkes (16: 20m).
Viñoly is Arrecifeño of birth and National Police destined to Ávila but in these days of vacations in Lanzarote decided to run animated by his friend the Olympic athlete and also Lanzarote Jose Carlos Hernández. “First time I run this test and I liked it because it is a fast track that shows very beautiful landscapes,” said the winner.
Bella Bayliss (17: 12m) shared the podium of the women with Gloria Cuellar (17: 25m), second classified, and with Lucinda Bayliss (19: 13m), who occupied the third position. The sports party enjoyed a spectacular time and was very animated by the three tests for minors held before the absolute. Jordi Weisel won in the 2.2 km reserved for young people from 10 to 13 years old.
