Next Sunday, February 15, the “Run for Animals” race will take place, a sporting event organized by the Antioquia por los Animales collective that seeks to unite the community around the well-being of the furry ones who need it most.
For the race it does not matter if you are not an expert runner or if you do not have the professional equipment; The competition is designed so that everyone participates at their own pace, whether walking, jogging or running, since the main objective is to arrive and accomplish for a greater cause.
The race offers three distances to adapt to all abilities: the 10K Alfas for those looking for a competitive challenge, the 5K Criollos for beginners and the 3K Cachorros, a recreational modality ideal for sharing with the family.
The meeting point will be the Parque Club Comfenalco Guayabal, where it is expected that 1,500 people will come together under the same feeling of empathy and commitment.
It is important to remember that, for technical reasons and to guarantee well-being, the animals will not physically participate in the competition, but they are the driving force behind every step that the attendees take.
More than a goal! The “Run for Animals” race will finance surgeries and sterilizations in the department
The highlight of this event is its social impact, since 100% of the funds raised will go to transforming animal lives in the department.
Half of these resources will focus on orthopedic treatments and surgeries for animals with mobility difficulties, while the other 50% will finance sterilization days throughout Antioquia to reduce abuse and abandonment.
Stories like those of Alma and Magia, who have overcome injuries and abandonment thanks to therapies and wheelchairs, are an example of the change that can be achieved with citizen participation.
For those who want to join this initiative, you can register and get a 15% discount by contacting the organization through their WhatsApp (3045935334) or on their Instagram account @correporlosanimales.
In addition to the satisfaction of helping, participants will receive a kit that includes a t-shirt and medal commemorating the event.
