500Km: La Carrera Más Larga De Europa [DVD]

The documentary tells the story of the 20 years of the 500 kilometer relay race that starts from the Tajamar school in the Vallecas neighborhood (Madrid) and has its finish line at the Sanctuary of Torreciudad (Huesca). A career that, like the documentary, is full of personal stories, challenges achieved, enthusiasm, faith and sporting improvement. A story that must be told and that will awaken in the viewer the question of how an epic sporting event can arouse so many emotions. Because “500 kilometers” is not a normal race. 53 stages of about 10 kilometers in which about 1,500 people participate annually; a 48-hour relay race that has become the longest race in Europa . In addition to the founders of the race and other people who participate in its organization, sports personalities who have had a direct relationship with it appear in the documentary, such as Vicente del Bosque, Fermín Cacho, Irene Villa, Arrigo Sacchi, Nuria Fernández, Manolo Martínez , Javier Cienfuegos, Javier Aguirre, Emilio Butragueño, Pepu Hernández, Lázaro Linares or Doctor Villalón, among others.
