You’ll also get the chance to camp below a breathtaking sky full of stars. A unique experience you should live.
Rocky Point is the scenery of a competition never seen before on the country where the runners can sign up on any of the 4 distances that get through espectacular natural views that will amaze you with their beauty awakening your adventure spirit: Beach Fun Run (10K), Beach & Desert Run (25K), Mega Desert Run (50K) and Ultra Trail (75K).
