Estepona sailor Ana Moncada will sponsor the XI Urban Race 10 kilometers Estepona ‘Trophy 200th anniversary of the National Police’.
The City Council and the Athletics Club recognize the career and achievements of the athlete, who represented Spain in the last Olympic Games.
The Estepona sailor Ana Moncada will be the godmother of the next edition of the Urban Race 10 kilometers Estepona ‘Trophy 200th Anniversary of the National Police’, to be held on October 13.
Organized by the Estepona City Council and the Athletics Club, this is one of the most important sporting events in the city, which also has the attraction of running through the main sites of the municipality. This year the event will be dedicated to the National Police, which is commemorating the 200th anniversary of its foundation.
Both the Consistory and the Athletics Club have wanted to recognize the achievements and the sporting career of Ana Moncada, who will participate with the mayor, José María García Urbano, in the ribbon cutting, in the starting gun of the race, as well as in the delivery of trophies. Mondaca belongs for years to the elite of the national sailing, is a medalist inside and outside our borders, and a few months ago he saw one of his dreams come true: to represent Spain in the Olympic Games held in Paris.
The mayor today received the sailor, who has delivered a diploma of recognition by the City Council for his participation with the Spanish Olympic Sailing Team during the Paris Games. García Urbano highlighted the important professional career of Ana Moncada and pointed out that the athlete is a reference for people of her generation for representing values such as self-improvement, effort and determination.
Moncada, for her part, expressed her gratitude for the recognition and expressed her excitement at having been named godmother of the Carrera Urbana. “It makes me very excited to be recognized by my city, and also to be chosen as godmother of the race. I am very fond of running and today my training is focused on preparing for a half marathon, which I have signed up for and I want to take it seriously. This recognition makes me very happy.
