TROPHY HAUL NINE Los Bandidos runners, including two on holiday from France, travelled to Abla on Saturday August 27. The Mojacar‐based group were taking part in the ninth Circuito de Carreras Populares organised by the Diputacion provincial council. Although advertised as 9.9 kilometres, it was just 9.1 kilometres ac‐ cording to their computers, Los Bandidos’ Karen Ayers said afterwards. “The one‐lap route on a mixture of terrains was tough, with some very steep climbs and descents and most of us had to walk in places,” Karen admitted. The race was very well sup‐ ported by the Abla public, with cheering and encourage‐ ment to keep the runners go‐ ing, she added. One hundred and nine run‐ ners crossed the finish line
