Ready, Set, Go!! The Street Mask to the Race

VII Mask Race. “The Churriega”

The Street Mask takes to the streets of Miguelturra on the second Saturday of carnival. More than 400 participants participated in the masked race organized by the Miguelturra Long-Distance Runners Association.

From 5:00 p.m. a large group of street masks, Major Masks from 2018 and other years, groups of groups and groups in costumes gathered in the Constitution Square to take the start on a 2,200-meter circuit, the finish of which was near the CERE. The most important thing about this non-competitive race is to have fun and be in costume. This race brings back old memories of those years in which the carnival was prohibited and where the races were not for fun, but to avoid arrest by the night watchmen and the civil guard, in addition to the corresponding fine.

Once the race was over, the Carnival Palace served as the stage for the Nuestra Señora de la Estrella Widows Association to distribute delicious hot chocolate and some delicious pastries among the participants, replenishing their strength to participate in the Zumba Fitness Workshop taught by “Areté Fitness de Miguelturra” and in the Twerking Master Class by “Gerardo Just”. 3 monthly memberships at the Areté Fitness Sports Center in Miguelturra valued at 175 euros and 2 pairs of sneakers sponsored by Twinner were also raffled off among the race participants.
