The event, promoted by the Junta de Andalucía and the Provincial Council of Granada along with the Andalusian Athletics Federation, is part of the World Athletics calendar with Challenger status. This provides participants with the opportunity to achieve the minimum marks required for the upcoming European Championships, to be held in Birmingham (United Kingdom) from August 10th to 16th.
Among the confirmed competitors is race walker María Pérez, a double Olympic and World champion. The competition will take place on the Granada track that was recently named in honor of the athlete.
“"Our gratitude to the athletes who make it possible for this event to take place and who allow Granada to continue growing as a sporting benchmark and as a city capable of hosting top-level international competitions."
“"We thank the Junta de Andalucía for its collaboration in supporting athletics and quality events at the Estadio de la Juventud, which has been the stage for great sporting achievements."
The event will take place over three hours on Sunday afternoon, and entry is free until full capacity is reached.
