Field notes

The roadmap divides the attempt into age-marked chapters—47, 48, 49 and 50—moving from making the goal public to the final attempt. The visible calendar lists events in Albacete (25–27 September 2026), El Espinar (9–12 October 2026), and Portimão (4–9 December 2026), with official event links. The page says the calendar will grow as dates are confirmed; it does not establish results or sponsorship terms.
