On the morning of May 1, 2016, the Ekiden Competition of the City of Valencia was held at the Turia River facilities. This year, and for the first time, the Ekiden Competition introduced a University competition. The race consisted in a marathon relay of 42.7 km.
The University of Cardenal Herrera (UCH-CEU) participated with one team in the men’s contest and another one in the mixed gender contest. These teams were composed by the members of the sport clubs of CEU-TRIATLON and CEU-RUNNERS that train every week under the supervision of the coach Emilio Aguayo.
The results were surprising, as we finished in 3rd position in the males university teams’ and in 4th position in the mixed gender university teams. This led us to be ranked 3rd in the Ekiden Competition of the General Universities section. Fantastic effort!
Below are the two teams that participated:
