This innovative event, the first of its kind on the island, will be held in the parking areas adjacent to the Avenida Marítima del Puerto de Vueltas. The competition is designed to accommodate athletes of different skill levels, offering a dynamic and demanding format that integrates functional exercises with running segments.
The Functional Canarias Games will have a limit of 150 registered participants and will be structured into several categories: PRO, competitive, pairs, and non-competitive. This diversity allows for the participation of both experienced athletes and those new to functional training disciplines.
The PRO category, the most demanding, will feature a circuit including tests such as box jumps, weighted jump rope, air bike, push-ups, loaded lifts, lunges, abdominal exercises, and rowing, all interspersed with running sections. This design aims to evaluate participants' strength, endurance, and cardiovascular capacity.
“"This is an innovative competition arriving for the first time in La Gomera, reinforcing our commitment to promoting sports in all its forms."
Walter Martín, Sports Councillor, highlighted the importance of hosting such initiatives in the municipality. He emphasized that events like this not only promote healthy lifestyles but also contribute to local revitalization and position Valle Gran Rey as an attractive destination for sports competitions. Registrations will remain open until all spots are filled.
