The traditional sporting event which is a hallmark of the municipality of Roquetas de Mar has once again proved that it is incredibly popular and very much long-awaited.

The event 100 hours under the umbrella of Sport For All has once again brought together the entire town.

The 12,000 participants are a good sign of this, but so was the full house of the Plaza de Toros de Roquetas de Mar, which had to open the stands for the closing ceremony of 100 hours. The ceremony included the presentation of trophies to the winners of the competitions.
