La Ruta de los Conquistadores
An Extra Day and a Full Race
18.10.2007
“There are no available spots since two weeks ago, nevertheless, we held this announcement while we worked on the lists, just trying to get a few more spacesâ€?, Race Director, Luis VÃquez, said.
La Ruta is turning 15 this 2007 so the organization has added one more day to celebrate the occasion, so this year’s race will have four stages. Alongside this the total field for international participants was increased from 330 to 400 entries, but the race still sold out before the originally planned closing date.
At present there is a waiting list with at least 30 people holding out for a free space to enter the race as some participants cancel their entries at last minute, leaving their spot open for someone else.
“We are usually talking about 10 spots or so, but that’s why people should register earlier!� said Viquez. Competitors from 30 different countries and 45 Media representatives are already registered for this 2007’s La Ruta de los Conquistadores.
This year’s event will have a new record of 600 entrants. Registration for local racers will remain open for one more week and at least 200 Costa Rican racers will enter the event which takes place from November 13-17th.
