We are fundraising to go to the Veracruz Marathon in Mexico

We support young athletes from Oaxaca's small communities. The selected for this national participation are:

Felipe Arellanes of Cuixtla, Miahuatlán. Pacer: Luis Fabian of San Pablo Yaganiza
Roque Luis of San Pablo Güilá. Pacer: Juan Victoria of Magdalena Apasco, Etla

You can donate to a specific athlete or to the general fund of our participation. Get to know the athletes on our social media @ OaxSport

Felipe will run the full marathon distance, Roque and Francisco will take part in the half-marathon. It's the first time for them to participate in a national road race and we hope to cover all their expenses.

Each athlete requires $350 USD to pay for entry fee, interstate transportation and accommodation for the athlete and his pacer. We try to raise more money to cover more expenses and make their trip comfortable and enjoyable.

We are fundraising to cover the expenses of the mentioned athletes and their pacers (2 athletes, 2 pacers). Other athletes and staff who are made up of volunteers and officers will not have their expenses covered by Oax Sport inc.
