The past weekend in Spain saw the holding of Regional Walking Championships in many locations.
We have already entertained our readers with the good result at the beginning of the season (1:29:51) obtained by Maria Perez (ESP) in Utrera, near Seville in the Andalusian Walking Championships.
On the same day in Jumilla, in the region of Murcia, the local championships on the distance of 10km were held.

Only three athletes at the start who, among other things, competed together with the men.
