The end of summer night race - From the sea to the castle

Every year, for the past 18, at the end of the summer, there is a trail race that goes from the village council where we live, up to the castle on top of the mountain, where I have been upcycling every once in a while. Looking up to the mountain from town, you could see the path from all the runners wearing their front light.

The race started at 10 pm. for adults, and a bunch of friends were out in the mountain giving support to those racers needing it.

In the afternoon, a shorter race for kids took place. It was nice to see how some of those little boys and girls already feel the need to challenge themselves.

For adults, there are two options, the short and the long run. Here's a map of the long one with almost 21 km from sea level up to 465 mts.

Of course, as the sea water is still quite warm, some of the runners end up jumping into it after they reach the end on the beach sand.
