José Moreno Albuja, a 34-year-old athlete from Rio de Janeiro, prepares the launch of the promotional video for his 42 km race in the Vuelta al Nevado Chimborazo, which he has done twice. José is an athlete who runs in the mountains at ultra distances that go over 40 km. Last January, he announced the Tour of Chimborazo 360, running alone, and he did it in eight hours and 45 minutes, of which experience he published a video, the same one that will be presented on Saturday, May 27, at 6:00 p.m., at the ‘Alfonso Chávez Jara’ Theater, of the Casa de la Cultura, in a public event and whose entry into the programming does not have any cost.
The athlete ran the Tour of Chimborazo, he did it at an average altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level. It should be noted that on that occasion the challenge was solo, that is, he ran alone up the mountain, in which he had to overcome the obstacles found along the way, competing self-sufficient, that is, he had to bring his own food. , water and relief items that you might need.
The day around the snowy Chimborazo began at 05:00 a.m. and ended at 1:45 p.m. At the beginning he was accompanied by a security group, family and friends, but the challenge was solo, and people were there both at the start and at the finish, giving a bit of security to the journey. The trot or the race is through cross-country, at the height of the refuge there are trails, you have to go through stones, sand, grasslands, ravines, that is, without tracks. Moreno is a 2nd-year-old athlete, and one of the motivations for doing this race was that in 2020 he already did his first competition and the intention was to lower the time, which he did in the first race and, thus, pay tribute to his grandfather , who passed away in November 2022.
Namely. These mountain races are practiced all over the world, the only thing that is needed is that it be in nature, that is, as little as possible stepping on the asphalt, since what is most used are chaquiñanes, mountain roads, dirt roads third order, grasslands, pastures, swamps, snow and sand
