Braving the morning cold, but exuding enthusiasm and positive energy, children, young people, adults and seniors brought to life, on Sunday morning, the first Family Race that took place in the Parque Oriente sector of Chillán, located on Aracar Street with Libertad Oriente.
The participants experienced a real party that not only included physical activity, but was also punctuated with entertaining dancing, live music, the participation of a local urban singer, rancheras by “Charro Pulgar” and the performance of the dance group “Manías”.
“I think it is an excellent initiative since not all people from peripheral areas can go to the center to participate and bringing this to the neighborhoods is remarkable,” commented Freddy Mondaca.
“I think it is a great initiative to bring these races to more vulnerable areas with the aim of promoting healthy living, sport and health,” stressed runner Sofía Sánchez.
Manuel Reyes, a resident of the area, who donated fruit to the participants, said: “I think it is good that these events are held here because the residents of the area can enjoy themselves with their families. Congratulations to the municipality and all the organizers.”
Claudio Pérez, a renowned long-distance runner and athlete trainer at the Tres Runners Club, applauded the idea of decentralizing this type of activity.
“It was a great initiative. We have always said that we have to decentralize sport and these events do not always have to be held in the center or in Quilamapu.”
The municipal delegate for the East, Paula Uribe, highlighted: “We are happy because the objective was met, people were motivated despite the intense cold and that motivates us to ensure that this Parque Oriente sports complex continues to shine.”
The Family Race included the 2.5 and 5 km categories, running through the streets surrounding Parque Oriente, which was the epicentre of an unprecedented family celebration.
