The Italian ultramarathoner, Giorgio Calcaterra registered to race in the 100 km
The Dominican ultra-trail cross country running race is set for Saturday, 9 March 2019. You, too, are invited to participate in the 100km 24 hour “100 km del Caribe Non Stop race sponsored by Propagas.” This mountain race is from Rancho Francisco in San José de Ocoa to the Hotel Altocerro in Constanza.
The 100km del Caribe Non Stop by Propagas is a one stage race that promotes the development and care of nature and its resources. Runners race mostly on dirt roads on altitudes ranging from 394 to 2,490m.
The single stage race starts off with a 5km Family Run. There is also a relay modality that can be run by two competitors. The first runner reaches Las Pirámidas (52 km) and from there, the partner runs the remaining 48 km to Constanza.
The organizers say there are no restrictions on participation and guarantee full safety for the entirety of the run.
Last year, ultra marathon runners, Italians Alice Modigiani and Francesco Gentilucci, Yarah Bobe, from Puerto Rico, and Argentinean Fernando Marino competed. This year they will be joined by Giorgio Calcaterra. The Italian ultramarathoner is regarded as the most successful athlete at the IAU 100 km European Championships.
Race organizer Mariluz Viñas says: “This race goes beyond the quest for a medal. Each of the participants that complete the race will be winning a personal achievement medal.”
