The Castelló Provincial Council has awarded this year’s Sports Merit Distinction to ASICS Penyagolosa Trails.

This distinction was part of the awards presented last night in Plaça de la Generalitat in Tírig during the celebration of Castellón Province Day.

The provincial president, Marta Barrachina, remarked that ASICS Penyagolosa Trails “is proof that when the people of Castellón believe in something, they can achieve anything.” On Tírig’s windy night, the president recalled the beginnings of the MiM and CSP races and their evolution into national and international benchmarks, leaving an indelible mark on the provincial sports community.

This is the ninth Sports Merit Distinction awarded by the Provincial Council, which highlights that “every step runners take in this race is not just a physical journey but a tribute to the strength of human courage and the athletic spirit of a remarkable land.”

Tico Cervera, director of ASICS Penyagolosa Trails, emphasized that this distinction “is an honor and a recognition of the entire province’s effort to make ASICS Penyagolosa Trails a global benchmark.”

In a video produced by the Provincial Council showcasing the values of ASICS Penyagolosa Trails, Cervera highlighted that the keys to success over more than 25 years have been the collaboration of provincial sports clubs, volunteers, security agents, medical teams, sponsors, and local councils, along with the invaluable support of the Castellón Provincial Council.
