On Sunday June 3, 2012 and as part of the commemorative events of the celebration of World Environment Day which is celebrated on June 5, the Race for the environment and sustainable development starting at 10:30 in the morning. The sporting act aims to promote the participation of people in environmental projects because the benefits go to sustainable energy initiatives.
All those born in 1998 or earlier may participate in the race, as long as they are correctly registered. Too there will be careers for children born between 1999 and 2005. The main event will be held over a 5-kilometer course in the Rey Juan Carlos I park in Madrid (image that illustrates the article). And the minors will compete in non-competitive races, as of 11:30, over distances adapted to their ages. The registration fee is 9 euros for the 5 km race and 2 euros for the minors' races.
In addition a lot of companies join the participation. This year 2012 also does LEGO that also shows its commitment to the environment and the defense of our environment. It will also make a draw for various game sets Lego as Ninjago, City, Friends and Star Wars among the youngest participating athletes.
The children's category will be divided into four levels, which although they are not competitive, the kids will give everything to win. They are lollipops (5 and 6 years) that will run 200 meters, prebenjamines (7 and 8 years) with 500 meters, the benjamines (between 9 and 10 years) with a distance of 1,200 meters and the fry (between 11 and 13 years) that they will travel a distance of 1,550 meters, almost one mile!
All who reach the goal will receive a medal for their effort. The start of the race in the children's categories is scheduled from 11:30 am. The registration period is now open and you have to hurry because you can participate until May 31. I recommend checking the website of the site to get all the information, registration fees, schedules and tour.
