This Sunday, November 10, the Baifo Extreme is celebrated in Corralejo (La Oliva), an obstacle course independent of the great franchises of the modality and that, after four editions, has managed to gain a foothold among the relevant sporting Events that are held in Fuerteventura

After completing the quota established in 500 participants for two weeks, the organization in charge of the Department of Sports of the City of La Oliva and the CD Al Máximo, with the involvement also this year of the association Limpiaventura, presented this morning at a conference Press the details of the test, which this year returns with important news.

"This year we again have an enrolment record and we are very satisfied with it, because it means that the race has been consolidated. La Baifo Extreme is a motivating and dynamic event, satisfying for us not only because it was born and raised in the municipality of La Oliva, but because each year has a solidarity purpose, "said the Councillor for Sports, Gleiber Carreño, noting that this time a part of the registration goes to the association Alejandro Da Silva, who works for childhood leukaemia.

Of the 400 adult participants, "more than half are from outside the island, which demonstrates the acceptance that the race has in just four years, and the potential that this municipality has in the organization of sport tourism Events", valued the mayor of La Oliva, Isaí Blanco.

Jonay Marín stressed that "from the Al Máximo Sports Club we are very happy. The registration quota has been completed two weeks before the test, and we have 330 participants in the standard race, one hundred girls and boys in the Baifito Extreme, and 70 enrolled in the Elite category, including OCR Masters champions, the Spanish league of obstacle courses ".

On the evolution of the event, Marín said that the Baifo Extreme "began as a participatory and fun race", but that he has listened to the demands of the participants to become increasingly demanding. "This year the finisher medal will already have value in itself."

The event was also attended by Limpiaventura. The vice president of the environmental association, Ángel Campos, explained the involvement of the group through its volunteers, working on cleaning and conditioning the circuit and other organizational tasks.
