- Because I want to participate in the UB515: “I've always “dated” this event, because in addition to being an endurance challenge, it carries a special component that is the dedication of the organizers and the union of the athletes. As an amateur athlete, I want to be part of the UB515 family, re-experiencing the feeling of self-knowledge, of the oscillation of feelings that a race of this distance provides and, in the end, feel the emotion of overcoming and fulfilling a dream.”
