DirectRooms.com - Runner Compete Cursa Bombers 10k Run 2011 in Barcelona

    PHUKET, THAILAND, March 22, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The event which has been running successfully for more than a decade is taking place on Sunday the 10th April 2011 at 10:00 a.m. start.

The Cursa Bombers is a special race in which firemen run ten kilometres. Traditionally firemen form four men relay teams and run the course in sections of 2.5km while wearing 20kg of fire fighting equipment. The winners receive the coveted Fireman's team prize called the "Premio Especial al Bombero Equipado". The race is jointly organised by Nike Running and the city of Barcelona. However the race is also open to the general public.

In 2010, approximately 18,000 runners took part in the event. The run is very popular due to the fact that good weather is almost guaranteed and the run passes some of Barcelona's main attractions.

The only way to enter the race is to register at the Cursa Bombers official website. The cost of entering the race is currently unknown but it will not be expensive. The 2011 event is expected to be popular so early booking is advised.

For international competitors, a stay at Barcelona Airport hotels is highly recommended and can provide a great base to see the sights of Barcelona city centre.
