Moreover, the race was attended by the renowned national athlete Martín Fiz, who ran with Micaela Pedrowicz, winner of an EDP raffle that allowed her to fulfill a dream by enjoying this experience next to the world and European marathon champion. “The challenge of running next to someone such as Martín Fiz has been a turning point in my recent passion, nothing will ever be the same” said Micaela, who finished the race in 1:47:10.
