If you take part in the Roman Miles you'll feel as if you've gone back in time, while enjoying nature and sport.
Participants must cover almost 100 kilometres on foot, either running or walking, with the help of a trekking pole. The course starts in Plaza de España square, in Mérida, and must be completed in just over 24 hours. Some of it takes place during night, through the capital of Extremadura and the surrounding area, which means that participants must have trained well.
If you manage to complete the course and you have all the stamps on your roadbook, you'll get a scale model of a Roman milestone, which is the symbol of the race. Fancy taking part? -
