The Municipal Sports Council and the Municipal Youth Institute got a good response for the International Youth Day Race, where prizes were awarded for six thousand dollars in cash and other gifts, as well as medals for the winners of the different categories.

The Director of the Municipal Council of Sport and Youth Support, Juan Rincón Flores was in charge of giving the starting signal to the participants who gathered in good numbers, to start punctually at 8:00 o'clock am, as it was agreed.

The junior class covered a distance of two miles, so that the return was established at the intersection of Las Glorias, while the rest of the categories: youths, mixed, veterans A, veterans B, veterans C, veterans D and veterans E, ran five miles, taking the return at the intersection of Holiday Inn.

As expected, the first to reach the finish line where the little ones in the children category, while in the adult category, the first one to cross the finish line was Carlos Fernando González Quintero who finished with a time of 15 minutes and 43 seconds, whereas for the women, the first to arrive was Emma Leticia Joya, with a time of 17 minutes and 08 seconds, although competing in the veterans A category.

The award ceremony was led by Juan Rincon Flores, Director of Comufodaj, Deputy Crisosto Francisco and the administrator Margarita Lepe.

Cash was awarded to the first and second places of each category and medals were given to third places, while in the junior category footballs were delivered to boys and basketballs to girls.

Of the athletic races that are made monthly by the Municipal Council of Sport and Youth Support, this is the first in which there were cash prizes, which prompted an increase in the number of runners, especially those who are engaged in these events competitively.
