Even though I haven't run in 5 weeks, I'm considering doing the 5k on Sunday in P.A., just to show my support.

I'd love to do the Cancun marathon, but I seem to have missed out on the first 16 weeks of training. Maybe if I knew about it earlier, I could have done something about that.

This is the 24th annual Cancun marathon? I love living here for 3 years and this is the first I've heard about it. I also love the fact that the first thing you see on their website is the incorrect date, "Saturday 8 December 2008".

Default race December 28th

First, huge kudos to PA for putting on a great race!
Still no timing chips like in the states but, from my research that will run you around $2500 USD.
The kid race was 100meter and SO cute!
The 5K & 10K started at the same time which was a little odd but, they had people directing you througout so you didn't get lost. I would guess about 50-60 participants??? Elites, regulars and walkers were all there. The winner of the 10K mens is an auto mechanic who ran the entire race WITHOUT shoes!
You got a shirt, a finishing medal, and they had Gatorade, bananas, oranges and pizza at the finish.

Well put together and well done!

My second news is a RACE IN PLAYA!!!!!
Wow! And with 3 weeks notice I may actually get in some good training! Now, I may be just missing it but I do not see on here what the distance is going to be. I am checking into that I will get back to you.

Default Races in the area Dec 18 to Jan 5th

Hola;

We are intrigued about the race mentioned here. Any races scheduled for the dates above? We will be in Puerto Aventuras during those dates and would love a 5K or 10K.

Rob & MA-

I have started a new thread for a race being held on 12/28. The information is mostly contained in the image Judy has attached above. For some reason, most promotional flyers here are graphics and generally hard to read.

Check out the thread 1st Annual Race for Hunger in the Events section for more information on that race. I have translated some of the information and will post more if I can contact the sponsors of the event. The big question is the distance. We're still checking! I'll post any updates to that thread, so check back periodically.
