While both Norden and Toft led from start to finish, the battle for second and third saw fierce contention from Joerie Vansteelant, Mike Elgezabal, Jensen and Bachor. On the run Vansteelant showed his strength, closing on Toft while Bachor had to settle for third.

In the women’s it was only ever Elmear Muller and Daniela Saemmler in contention, finishing second and third respectively.

Coast2Coast 2012

Saturday, the 15th September 2012, Fuerteventura has been the location for the first performance of the Coast to Coast event. A marathon competition of 90km with another 3 shorter distances to choose from carries you through the most beautiful places of the Island with authentic natural beauty and intensity. Óscar Latorre from Cartagena, born in Fuerteventura, has been the strongest and wrote his name with golden letters in the winners’ list.
The first edition of the Coast to Coast did not count many inscriptions. About 70 runners spread over the 4 possible distances wanted take part in this trial challenge which is pretended to put Fuerteventura in the national and international showcase. The most positive thing for the organization was the high inscription of national and foreign athletes. The royal distance started at 7am at Playitas (Tuineje). 90km of adventure, a fiercing head way, by perfect running trails, although marked by a powerful sun and high humidity. The conditions were extreme, but the innkeeper from Murcia Óscar Latorre, who curiously has been born on Fuerteventura Island, demonstrated his capability.

Roth

All start places for the 12th Challenge Roth on July 14, 2013 were booked up as fast as never before. On Monday (July 16) the online application process had been launched at precisely 10 a.m., and no more than 29 minutes later all of the 600 relay places were gone.
53 minutes after the launch of the application process all of the 2000 tickets for German and after 1.15 hours 1500 foreign individual starters were booked up as well. So once again, the race was fully booked within one single day.

On December 6, at 12 noon it will again be possible for a short time to make an application. Both individual and relay starters will have the opportunity to obtain start places as part of a charity action – while stocks last, of course. And at the same time athletes will do a good deed, since part of the application fees will be donated to charitable institutions.
