Cursa El Corte Inglés: 30th Anniversary - May 18, 2008 - 9:30 AM

GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR

During the weekend, the streets, parks and squares of Barcelona become ideal places for sharing, taking part in leisure and free time activities with friends and family.  But there are certain days every year that are very special, because these public spaces become the scenario for sporting events and, whether we participate actively or enjoy them as spectators, they touch us, thrill us, cheer us up and make us feel proud of being a part of this city.

One of these occasions is the Cursa del Corte Inglés, that every month of May makes us come out onto the streets and, through sport, makes evident the ability of the citizens to take part in the events Barcelona offers.  This year the race reaches it’s 30th edition: it’s clear that it has consolidated itself as one of the most awaited civic and sports events.

Sign up!  In Barcelona we don’t want sport to be just another activity, but a lifestyle and a distinctive trait.  And everyone who participates in the Cursa next May 18th will help make that possible.

Jordi Hereu
Mayor of Barcelona
