On Sunday, at 7 AM, there will be a 2.5, 5, and 10K races, sponsored this time by "Grupo Desafio" which, apparently, is the Mexican version of the Cancer Society. The race will be at the same location as the previous events, in which the start is just south of the bullring, on Bonampak. It's easy to find. Be there, shortly before 7 AM, on Sunday, if you're itching to run! (With my wife out of town, and no one to represent the family in the race, I may just have to try this one, myself! Care to join me, Rivergirl? What with the time change, you'll find it's much easier to be up that time of day, of a Sunday morning. And, the rest of you forum readers, come on out and give it a try, if you've ever thought about it. The day should be reasonably cool, that early.)
MORE DETAILS I now have additional details, supplied in part by Lillian Alarcón e Ito, Presidenta, Grupo Desafío de Quintana Roo, A.C. She says you must register for the race no later than Oct 31, at Sports City (next to VIPs cafe). She also says a donation of 200 pesos is the required minimum, equal to the cost of one mammogram. ________________________ The flyer for the event contains these additional, interesting details, in Spanish: CARRERA DESSAFIO POR LA VIDA 1.
