Who we are?
We are Jordi Vissi and Tomas Llorens, two passionate about sports, mountain and, above all, running.
BiFree is the company with which we organize the Pyrenees Stage Run (psr.run), a race that was first announced in early 2016 and is held annually in September. The PSR is a stage race that crosses the Catalan Pyrenees, from Ribes de Freser (Ripollès) to Salardú (Val d’Aran), and passing through Andorra. There are 7 stages, a week in which 240km and 15000m of elevation are covered, mainly along the well-known GR11 path.
In 2018 we organized the 1st edition of the Costa Brava Stage Run (cbsr.run), a 3-stage race between Blanes and Portbou that continued the Costa Brava Xtrem Running project organized by Xavi Marina from 2009 to 2013.
Now, we put the 1st stone of the Brama, a new stage race that wants to be a “little” Pyrenees Stage Run: fewer days, different distances but the same objective, to live an experience that goes beyond running in the mountains and that allows us to meet other people and spend unforgettable days with Ribes de Freser as the center of the adventure.
Mission
“Our mission is to give you the opportunity to live a unique experience doing what you like, where you are the star and taking home unforgettable memories of each moment lived during our races”.
Vision
“We want that every trail-runner have the desire to participate at least once in a lifetime to our races; because they are a complete and unique experience for the runner”.
Values
Adventure
Safety
Fellowship
We believe in the values of friendship and companionship that prevail in the mountains and that we must preserve in trail-running races.
Respect

I finished my PhD in Ecology in early 2015, and since then I put all my energy into this project. I am a runner since I was a kid, and I have participated in both popular and ultra races, triathlons and stage races (city and trail marathons, Half-Ironman, UTMB, Costa Brava Xtrem Running, Transalpine-Run…) and sporting adventures out of competition (GR11, GR20, GR92, Camino the Santiago in mountain bike…).

I have studied economy, but I love being a photographer, videographer and musician… And I am also an trail runner by nature and vital necessity. I think that the PSR is a nice cocktail of all these disciplines: organizing a unique experience that goes beyond the pure challenge in the Pyrenees. So I think it will be easy for me to put everything I have in order that you take home something more than a title of Finisher.
