The ASCSM wanted to offer young Saint-Martin athletes this particular event which requires support differently, on steep paths, linking climbs, descents with changes of rhythm, strides which differ from the efforts made on the track. Athletics.
With 121 registered and 90 participants aged 3 to 17, the morning was therefore placed under the sign of conviviality but also of performance. Different race formats were offered depending on the age categories. For the baby athletics, the young budding athletes had to cover 300 meters, 800 m for the athletic school, 1000 m for the chicks, 2000 m for the juniors, 2800 m for the juniors, 3000 m for the cadets and finally, 4000 m for juniors.
