_It was Holy week and I heard that some Ororunners also liked to run uphill the mountain which lead to Malasac gardens ecoparc.
Good Friday also popular for Catholics to walk to a 400 meter high area to worship the Lord and celebrate Good Friday.
Aside the road are 14 crosses and in the end there's a chapel.
The day before and the following night many people especially youngsters went going up, burning a candle in every cross and spent the night on the slopes of this mountain.

the chairman of the Orosundayrunners is enjoying too much

_That early Friday-morning at 5.30 we start to run in the city for a few kilometers before we left the highway for taking the side-road to the mountain.
It was still very much crowded in the small road, especially the people who were going down again after their long stay during the night.
Anyway, we were not in a hurry, we just enjoyed all the people to watch and they did the same to us runners.
_After some drinks and eating a little snack we went down again, passing my apartment, where I offered the Ororunners more water and some bread to eat.
We experienced a nice clubrun that Good Friday.

Our way back gives already more space
