One more year, the city of Calella will be the ideal place chosen by many athletes for their final preparation before performing a marathon.

Calella is the chosen city due to its proximity to Barcelona and the meteorological, geographical and logistical conditions it offers; the fantastic Mediterranean microclimate, the passage of the Montnegre corridor, the beach, the promenade of the sea, gymnasium and wellness center, physiotherapy, etc.
