The Malaga sporting community is this week mourning the passing of Miguel García Velasco. A familiar face at running events across the province, García has died aged 90.
García discovered running in his 40s and quickly became a fixture in the Carrera Urbana Ciudad de Málaga, the famous El Corte Inglés race. He was at every edition for over four decades, with the exception of those during the pandemic.
He also took part in numerous marathons and half marathons across Andalucía, Portugal and France.
Known for his daily training and constant smile, García remained active into his late 80s.
He told SUR that he would continue running until his body could no longer handle it in 2022. I will not stop running, it is in my blood.
