The Trail Tierras Pésicas will return this weekend to Cangas del Narcea with more than five hundred participants. The event, organized by the Club Deportivo Básico Cangasport, reaches its thirteenth edition in a landscape that in November takes on ochre and gold tones. Among the hallmarks of the municipality are the terraced vineyards, where the so-called heroic viticulture is practiced, and places such as the Monastery of Corias and the Sanctuary of Acebo.
Asturtoner Nocturna Opens the Schedule on Saturday
The activity will start on Saturday, November 14, with the collection of bib numbers in the courtyard of the City Hall of Cangas del Narcea. At 7:30 p.m. the start will be given to the Nocturna de Asturtoner, the first event of the weekend and the only one that will be run at night.
A 27.8-kilometer trail to run solo or in pairs
The main race will depart on Sunday, November 15 at 8:00 a.m. Its route, with slight changes compared to previous editions, will measure 27.8 kilometers and 1,650 meters of positive elevation. It can be run individually or in pairs. Those who choose the latter modality must pass the control points together and cross the finish line together. After that will begin the Speed Trail, of 10.5 kilometers and 540 meters of positive elevation. The same circuit will host the Andarines category, a non-competitive walk for those who prefer to complete the route on foot.
From the hanging bridge to Arrastraculos Hill
The hanging bridge of Cangas del Narcea, which connects the old town with the Ambasaguas neighborhood, is one of the most recognizable steps of the event. The other awaits at the final stretch. The steep cobbled street known as Arrastraculos leads to the finish line. The weekend will conclude with the traditional fellowship meal among runners and their companions. On the menu will be the pote cangués, one of the council’s most popular recipes, prepared with greens, beans, potatoes and meats.
