The Cursa dels Nassos has announced in recent weeks the participation of great international stars such as Norwegian brothers Ingebrigtsen (Jakob, Henrik and Filip), The Jimmy Gressier is FrenchThe Swiss Jonas RaessThe Adisu Girma from Ethiopia, Mohamed Al Garni from Qatar, Ejgayehu Taye from Ethiopia, Konstanze Klosterhalfen from Germany, Karoline Grøvdal from Norway, Miriam Chebet from Kenya, Agate Caune from Latvia and a long and others of athletes that will delight the public from all over the world, because the televisions of many countries will hear what happened on December 31 in Barcelona.
But the Cursa dels Nassos 2022 has also gathered a good list of elite athletes of the state, as is the case of marta galimanywho on December 4 crushed the Spanish marathon record, held by Ana Isabella Alonso since 1995. The student of Jordi Todaaccompanied by Roger Rock –his trusted hare– managed to stop the clock in an impressive 2:26:14. Galimany lives in a particular idyll with the Cursa dels Nassos, as he will participate for the thirteenth consecutive year in the 10-kilometer event. It has five victories (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021), it was third in 2014, 2015 and 2020, fourth in 2011 and 2013, sixth in 2012 and tenth in 2010.
If in the 10 kilometer test Galimany (with a personal best of 32:29) will be the state star along with Meritxell Soler (32:34), at 5 kilometers the most important local athlete Esther Guerrerowho in 2020 was designated as the best athlete of Spain and appreciates stunning marks in his two favorite distances: 1:59.22 in the 800 meters and 4:02.41 in the 1500 test. In the 5-kilometer route he has a personal record of 16 :03 achieved in the Cursa dels Nassos 2020. At the end of the year he will return after a season complicated by injuries, but with the feeling that he will once again be the athlete who managed to achieve 14 full championship titles in Spain between outdoor competition and indoor track of 800 and 1500 meters.
In the men’s category, Abdessamad Oukhelfen, Pol Oriach and Àdam Maijó they start as favorites among state athletes. Oukhelfen, who has a best time in the 5000 meters of 13:17.95, hopes to break his best time in the 5K en route (14:00), which is from the year 2020. Oriach, European champion sub-20 in the 3000 meter hurdles in 2021 In 20 winters, he is one of the great jewels of our athletics and this season he lowered his personal record of 1500 meters to 3:37:10. Finally, Àdam Maijó, unlike the previous two, will compete in the 10 kilometer event, where he will fight to improve his personal best (28:59) achieved on January 9 in Valencia. Maijó, 21, broke his personal bests of 800, 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 meters in May and June, clocking 1:48.76, 3:38.88, 7:57.11 and 13:40.07.
It is undoubtedly a luxury to have this brilliant group of state athletes competing on December 31 in the streets of Barcelona.
Very few numbers remain for the traditionally popular 10-kilometer trial, which is about to reach 10,000 registered. The organization encourages runners to sign up, at the latest, on Tuesday, December 27 if they don’t want to miss out on participating in this great end-of-year sports party.
