The second edition of the athletics event of 10 km from Denia was suspended due to the lack of safety of participants.
A bizarre story wrapped this race that could not be performed. Ten minutes before the scheduled time for the same, the head of the local police responsible for ensuring the safety of the trial, admitted plotting it. He checked missing 39 points to be covered by the volunteers of the organization.
After this check informed the organization of the test it is to be incident could remedy. Those responsible for the race tried by all means to cover those points. While the athletes were nervous and upset about the delay in output. Many had adequate heating it already was of little use to them.
After an hour the organization reported that it had solved the problem. Local police again walk the track and found that there were still crosses filled. After talks between the head of the local police, the Security council itself, Javier Ygarza present at the starting line and the organization, it was the organizer himself who took the decision to suspend the race.
PA communicated by the race was suspended, unable to ensure the safety of athletes.
The reaction of the participants was mass protest against this situation and surprisingly came to cover the route. They did so in a personal capacity neutralized and the path without the supervision or control of a normal career.
The great majority of the participants showed their anger with the organization for not having taken into account the positions to be filled so that the security was total. The organization of the race apologized to the runners and commented, " It was all planned, but we own volunteers, who have not appeared to cover positions where they had to be failed. I understand the position of the local police, and that is why I apologized to all participants".
The bottom of this matter in my opinion is that the grouping of civil protection Denia
It has a nefarious policy. This leads to others that if they are asked for help they do not go
A chieftain despot and enlightened by the hand of God the rambo is believed and what happens pasaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It gives me that something is wrong in the matter of volunteering in Denia and politicians are the goal
Every year I go to Dénia to run the half marathon, in my opinion beautiful and well set, but I have to say that as an organization and public address a 5 pelaillo, I will still continue to attend that annual appointment and a shame not having been able to perform the 10kms as expected ...
Anyway, we enjoy the same running on our own, with our timers ...
But it's amazing when we see in other races in the region, in much smaller towns the number of volunteers that organizers can mobilize!
I've been there and painful, pathetic organization and a disaster. The worst race of the province. At the end we have gone all on our own and we have entered the finish line together in protest. Too bad that has happened in Denia. To make matters worse was a very expensive race. I put a 10 participants and the organization have a 0 for failing to put less.
What a mess.
