Piggyback to El Arenal? A Reality Check on the Ballermann Singers' Run

Answer

Is piggyback running safe during a long-distance challenge?

Piggyback running adds a serious extra load and changes the way the body moves, which increases the risk of falls, back strain and other injuries. On a long route to Mallorca, that kind of segment should only happen with tested technique, clear weight limits and proper safety support. Without that, it becomes a much bigger risk than a novelty gesture.
