Tour Tijuana: A Free 9K Run this August 30th

A multi-stage run launches this month in Playas de Tijuana

TIJUANA.- This August 30th, the community of Playas de Tijuana will host a 9 kilometer fun run. TOUR Tijuana is the first event of its type in the region, with the goal to organize regular fun runs around different parts of the city— a sort of multi-stage competition. The idea is that winners in each race can also compete to win the tour itself. A total of four events are currently planned for the TOUR Tijuana, including a 6 km race to be organized in downtown Tijuana in September. Event organizers state that the goal is to promote health and wellness in its residents.

Starting at 8am, runners will begin at the lighthouse next to the border fence. From there, runners will head south along the main streets of the community which will be closed off for the event, before looping back toward the border fence and running the final kilometer on the beach back to the starting point. At the finish line, there will be a street party for runners and their families to enjoy.

There will be prizes for the first three winners in the male and female categories. The prizes include a free weekend stay at Rancho Tecate, sports apparrel, a three-month membership at Synergy, and a cash prize of $1,700.00 pesos.
