On Sunday, September 27 at 9:00 a.m., the Pedestrian Ascent to the Hermida Gorge will once again turn the 28.5 kilometers connecting the Asturian town of Panes and the Cantabrian town of Potes into a must-attend event for long-distance running enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
The race, which this year enters its 39th edition, crosses the spectacular Hermida Gorge and dives into the surroundings of the Picos de Europa, tracing a landscape of great natural and cultural value.<\/p>\n
There are 28.5 kilometers<\/strong> over a route of constant elevation gain, from 30 meters up to 300 meters above sea level, whose effort is offset by a privileged setting: limestone walls, mountains, forests, and the spectacular scenery of the gorge, right along the Lebaniego Camino<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Panes-Potes is, besides, a race with history. Its longevity has made it one of the classic tests on the Asturias and Cantabria calendar and a highly valued event among runners. Panes, La Hermida, and Potes are once again linked by a competition that combines tradition, endurance running, and mountain scenery. A different, demanding, and spectacular test that offers participants the privilege of running at the heart of the Picos de Europa.\n<\/p>\n Registration: 20 euros.<\/strong><\/p>\n The previous edition highlighted two standout figures. In the men\u2019s category, Santi Cobo<\/strong> clinched his first victory in the Subida Pedestre al Desfiladero de la Hermida with a time of 1:37:45<\/strong>. While in the women\u2019s category, Vanessa del R\u00edo<\/strong> again demonstrated her dominance. The Pi\u00e9lagos runner prevailed with a time of 2:00:05<\/strong>, securing her second consecutive Panes-Potes win<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
