THE SOLANA – BENISSA CHALLENGE, AN EXTRA CHALLENGE

Dear HERO,

We know you very well by know and we know that even a challenge like the HERO Costa Blanca isn’t enough for you. That’s why we’ve decided to raise the bar and make things even more interesting.

A climb which will demand everything and then some – 2.35 km in length and boasting 272 m, with an average incline of 8.5%. It will take your breath away, in more ways than one! In the heart of the HERO Costa Blanca, your legs will be screaming for a break, and your heartbeat will go through the roof – but that’s what makes a true HERO! The SOLANA–BENISSA CHALLENGE is your moment to go beyond your limits, find the inner HERO in you and tap into a wellspring of strength.

Face the climb. Embrace the effort. Become a HERO.

Don’t forget about the prize! Everyone who will complete the climb within the time limit will get a HERO T-shirt to commemorate their success!
