In its third year, the Samana Las Terrenas 5k-10K marathon will be run on Sunday, 4 March, with runners starting at 8am from Punta Popy and the Las Terrenas-El Limon road. The circuit is certified by the International Associations of Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and has the backing of the Dominican Federation of Athletics Associations, Las Terrenas and national businesses. The marathon seeks to position Las Terrenas as a preferred sport-tourism destination, says Alma Arellano, project manager of LT Expert, the group that is organizing the race.
Registrations opened on 1 February through the event's web page www.lasterrenasmarathon.com (http://www.lasterrenasmarathon.com) and at the registration centers on 6 February. In Las Terrenas, runners can register at the office of Century 21 Juan Perdomo at Plaza Taina, in Santo Domingo at the offices of the Dominican Federation of Athletics Associations and at the Runner's Shop, and in Santiago on our website.
"We believe this event is very important for the progress of Las Terrenas and its community, and we hope Las Terrenas 5K-10K will continue on and contribute to the path of developing a cycle of such activities in the area," says Melissa Prieto, managing director of El Portillo Beach Club and Spa in Las Terrenas, one of the event sponsors.
Last year, in the II Edition of Las Terrenas 10K, there was a participation of 291 registered runners and 212 little ones who took part in the children races. This meant an exponential growth with respect to the first edition, and in 2012, the expectation is to have even a greater participation thanks to the invaluable collaboration of community groups such as the Liga Deportiva The Terreneros, and local and national companies headed by El Portillo Beach Club and Spa, Induveca, Fairways Residence, VIP Realty Managers, Century 21 Juan Perdomo and others.
Las Terrenas 5K-10K would not be possible without the important contribution of volunteers and the community. To join our team, please send an email to info@lasterrenasmarathon.com, or call 829 645 7278. All volunteers will be served a free breakfast before the race and receive the shirt "Volunteer, Las Terrenas 5K-10K."
