SANTA CRUZ EXTREME
Enabling sport for all is now a cornerstone objective. Long abandoned is the prejudice of what was considered “normal” precluding access to people simply because they had a disability. We want to make it possible for the wishes of many people come true. We have, therefore, taken the lead together with many associations that for two years have been contributing with their effort to enable many people to get closer to the mountains. Sporting competition educates, and transmits values, and effort is the touchstone to fostering togetherness. It is our wish to make Santa Cruz de Tenerife the national pacesetter for the organisation of “Joëlette” adapted-wheelchair competition. There are international benchmarks, but rather than setting a special course, Santa Cruz Extreme, practising equality from the start, is using the final leg of the Santa Cruz Extreme course for all. Everyone will have the chance to face the tough Anaga conditions and a parallel stretch of the course (Los Catalanes-Santa Cruz de Tenerife) will be made available, with sections that are truly technical, in the full spirit of Extreme (XTRM). There will be specific rules governing the competition. Don´t forget, it is on the 14th of October.
