The first edition of the mountain marathon, organized by GECA and sponsored by Noel Alimentària, was a success, with nearly 400 participants: 200 in the 10-km race, 150 in the half marathon and 50 in the marathon. The race passed by some emblematic spots of the Puigsacalm Mountain. The Albert Bosch Foundation was created with the aim to open new opportunities for children with diseases and their families. For 10 years, the foundation has been collaborating closely with VHIR in three research lines: fetal surgery, child cancer and rare diseases such as erythematosus lupus.
