One of the biggest names of this edition will not be on the start line.

Raรบl โ€œEl Kapiโ€, one of our most beloved Puntales, has officially confirmed that he will not be able to take part in the PROVITAL Backyard Ultra โ€“ Gran Canaria.

His goal this year was hugeโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‘‰ to find his limit
๐Ÿ‘‰ to see both sunrise and sunset while still racing
๐Ÿ‘‰ to fight for 48 hours
๐Ÿ‘‰ and once again show what he is made of.

After several weeks dealing with health problems following a flu/viral illness, โ€œEl Kapiโ€ has been unable to complete his preparation as planned and, with the honesty and humility that define him, has decided to step aside.

His own words perfectly reflect the Backyard spirit:

โ€œWe know there are no excuses in a Backyardโ€ฆ it gradually shows us where our mental and physical limits really are.โ€

From everyone in the organisation, we want to send him all our strength and make one thing clear:

๐Ÿ”” This bell will keep ringing for you.
๐Ÿ”” Ingenio will be waiting for you.
๐Ÿ”” And the Puntales will be waiting too.

Because this is not only about runningโ€ฆ it is also about knowing when to stop so you can come back stronger.

Stay strong, Kapi.

There will be an empty space at this editionโ€ฆ

but we know youโ€™ll be back.
