The 5K Ibiza-Platja d’en Bossa has everything ready to mark, once again, the official start of the season of popular races in Ibiza and Formentera.

The balance between a competitive race and its markedly popular character is another key to its success. The race allows a wide and diverse participation, from experienced athletes to amateur runners who find in this event a perfect motivation to start the season.

Prizes, records and the 10K in sight

In addition, the La Sirena Shopping Center will award the first three absolute finishers, both male and female, with shopping vouchers.

Next February 9th, the spotlight will be on the 10K Ibiza-Platja d’en Bossawhere the renowned Spanish athlete Thierry Ndikumwenayo will try to beat the current national record for the 10 kilometers. This record, 27:44, was set by Abdessamad Oukhelfen at the beginning of 2024 in Valencia and is the goal that Ndikumwenayo seeks to leave behind in his first participation in the Ibiza race.

A race with history and great brands

The 10K Ibiza-Platja d’en Bossa, which celebrates its fifth edition, is already a reference in the national athletic calendar. With a current record of 27:18, set by Kenyan Benson Kiplangat in 2023, the race has seen some of the best long-distance runners in the world parade. In 2022, Adel Mechaal came close to breaking the national record with a time of 27:50, falling just two seconds short of the best Spanish time at the time.

Now, Ndikumwenayo arrives in Ibiza backed by his impressive track record. Nicknamed ‘Tiger’, the athlete has proven to be a world-class figure. Among his achievements, the Spanish record in the 10,000 meters ( 26:49.49) at the Paris Olympics stands out, making him the first Spaniard to run under 27 minutes at this distance. He also holds the national record in the 3,000 meters (7:25.93) and has achieved a time of 12:48.10 in the 5,000 meters, consolidating his position as one of the best long-distance runners in the history of Spain.

The European challenge is also on the horizon

In addition to seeking the national record, Ndikumwenayo could have his sights set on the European 10K record, set at 27:04 by Frenchman Etienne Daguinos in November 2024. The organization has confirmed that the athlete will be supported by Rodrigue Kwizera as hare, a detail that underlines the seriousness with which this feat is being prepared.

Expectation in Ibiza

The 10K Ibiza-Platja d’en Bossa will not only be an outstanding sporting event, but also an opportunity for spectators to witness a historic moment in Spanish and European athletics. With its idyllic setting and fast course, this race promises to be the perfect stage for Ndikumwenayo to show why he is considered the best national long-distance runner of the moment.
