Sant Lluís run against violence against women: two routes

Sant Lluís, Menorca, offers runners a choice of 3 or 10 kilometres on 22 November as its run against violence against women returns for a fifth year. The shorter route is open to all ages and abilities, with no timing or race categories. The 10-kilometre race is timed, with categories and trophies.

The 10-kilometre event is also the third Antonio José Gálvez Pilar Memorial. It honours an athlete with close ties to Sant Lluís and its cultural and sports centre. Runners will follow paved and dirt paths, including the natural circuit beside the Ses Canaletes sports centre. The 3-kilometre route uses paved paths and a cycle lane through the town and its surroundings. Sant Lluís Town Council says the shorter run aims to raise awareness and give women greater visibility in sport.

Both routes will be marked, but they will not be completely closed to traffic. The council urges runners to take particular care at crossings and other difficult points. Changing rooms and showers will be available at the sports centre, with refreshments at the five-kilometre point of the longer race and food and drink at the finish. All money raised will go to a solidarity initiative.
