A good friend in Oviedo sent me this announcement today — Red Bull is planning a three day race on the Primitivo from September 24-26.
It seems that this will be done in three stages by relay teams of 5 or 6. Maximum number of teams allowed is 40. I have no idea how much interference there will be for peregrinos who are actually walking the camino on those days, but I personally would not want to be there.
I wonder if some official entity received compensation, if some government will provide security — basically I wonder how in the world this came to pass!
