Oaf Sport is scheduled to take part in the second edition of the Veracruz Marathon on the 4th of December, in Boca del Río and Veracruz City, Veracruz State. After our 2021 participation with Felipe, we decided it was an outstanding event to come to again and bring more athletes. This year our selected athletes are Felipe Arellano Ruiz and Roque Ark Angel Luis. The first will run the full marathon distance looking to surpass his mark of the previous year and Roque will run his first-ever road half-marathon.
The Veracruz Marathon is a well-organized run race that promises to be a leader in the Mexican Marathons calendar. This second edition marathon has expanded its foreign participation with runners from Colombia, Costa Rica, the USA, and Canada. We believe it’s important to support local athletes in going to such a national competition that brings foreign athletes together with the best marathon runners in the region.
Both Felipe Arellano Ruiz and Roque Ark angel Luis started preparation months early. Preparation for such an event includes running, strength training, physical therapy, and medical consultation to help get our athletes in the best shape to perform their best. Both runners will be joined by their Athletes Club teammates, Luis Fabian and Juan Victoria, who will handle pacing and race strategy for Felipe and Roque, to help them achieve their personal bests.
We are happy to announce that we will sponsor a local athlete in the fifth edition of the Aramex International Half-Marathon. Taking place this coming June 12th, in Oaxaca City. Our selection for this grand event is Francisco Soriano Guzman from Guadalupe Chandra District, Mixtec Region.
Francisco is a prominent runner with extensive participation in the road and cross-country races. He is active in the athletic scene in the Etta and regions, and this will be his first attempt at a road half-marathon.
The 2022 Ashamed Half-Marathon is the fifth season of this magnificent sports event that brings together the best distance runner from all over the region. Arcades are a credit union founded in Villa de Etla, Oaxaca in 2001 and quickly grew to 56 branches in 9 Mexican States. The company is always active in supporting the community through social and athletic involvement.
At Oar Sport, we continue our mission of supporting athletes from the small communities of Oaxaca by offering them the financial support needed to attend athletic competitions. Sponsoring Francisco was possible through the generous donations of the community.
Athletes supported by Oar Sport had an impressive performance last April 2nd in the ‘Ultra Trail Desert de Los Leonel’ in Mexico City. The seven Oaxaca runners took part in different distances of this large and national trail running competition.
Leading the group was Juana Cruz, which competed in the 50k ultra distance and came first. With her win, she receives an entry in the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc Mexico, which will take place next October in Puerto Vallarta.
In the 9k short trail run, Juan Victoria came first overall, followed by Felipe Arellano in 3rd place. Luis Fabian came 6th overall. It was the first national trail race for these young athletes, and they dominated very well. They are eager to take part in more short-distance trail competitions.
