II TRAIL CAMINO DE HIERRO
The second edition of the Camino de Hierro Trail is underway in the Arribes del Duero Natural Park, and your Camping Arribes del Duero is the perfect place to access this exciting sporting adventure. This event, scheduled for May 25, offers participants the opportunity to walk along a historic section of the Duero railway line, closed to traffic in 1985 and reconditioned as a hiking route in 2021 by the Diputación de Salamanca.
The race, which will start at six o’clock in the evening from the Plaza de la Fregeneda, will have a route of approximately 13.5 kilometers to the Vega Terrón pier, passing through the municipality of Hinojosa de Duero. The registration period is now open and participants can register on the Orycronsport website for a price of 10 euros until May 10 or until the 300 bibs available are filled.
Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt and a backpack, and those who wish to use the bus service from Salamanca will have to pay a supplement of 3 euros. The bus will leave the day of the event at 15:30 hours from Gabriel y Galán square.
The Diputación de Salamanca has provided a free bus service from La Fregeneda to Vega Terrón two hours before the start of the race, allowing runners to leave their cars at the finishing point and return comfortably at the end of the race.
In addition to the competition, there will be a local products fair at the Vega Terrón pier, where athletes and the public will be able to enjoy typical local products. The awards ceremony is scheduled for eight o’clock in the evening and trophies will be awarded to the best male and female runners, as well as to the different age categories and teams.
The Camino de Hierro Trail offers a unique experience for sports and nature lovers, combining the history of the railroad with spectacular scenery. With a budget of 13,500 euros, the Diputación de Salamanca hopes to repeat the success of the first edition and to continue promoting this exciting race in the future.
