CELEBRITIES IN LA CURSA

Rudy Fernández, Ernesto Valverde, Erika Villaécija and El Canto Del Loco are supporting us: Thanks!

“On May 18, run in the Cursa de El Corte Inglés. Make your best basket and participate in the most socially aware race. Come and run, you’ll make history”. These words from the DKV Joventut basketball player Rudy Fernández, especially dedicated to all of the participants of the 30th Cursa El Corte Inglés, is one of the four messages that in this edition the coach of R.C.E. Espanyol, Ernesto Valverde, the olympic swimmer Erika Villaécija and the music group El Canto del Loco have also made.

Manel Estiarte, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, Epi, Miguel Indurain, Johan Cruyff,  Pete Sampras, Magic Johnson, Juan Antonio Samaranch, Montserrat Caballé, Pau Gasol, Rafael Nadal, Joan Manuel Serrat and Carlos Sáinz are thirteen of the well-known people who, since 1993, have offered their disinterested collaboration to the organization of the Cursa El Corte Inglés (please find attached the list of all of these celebrities). Throughout the years, these messages of support demonstrate the special characteristics of the sporting activity that over time has become the heritage of all of our citizens.

The presence in 2008 of these seven celebrities, authentic leaders in their respective fields, freely and in a completely altruistic way giving their support to the event, shows that la Cursa is an incomparable community event.

The film that includes all of these messages of support will be transmitted without interruption at the sign-up points, in the ads created with the voices of these sports figures and be broadcast on the main radio stations in Catalonia.
