Race Organizer Jose Manzur explained: \u201cWe planned to hold the race here, which is completely different from Avenida Reforma as that has been used week in, week out by runners. So we decided to make a change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great way to help the WBC Cares Foundation. All the funds that we raise, after expenses go straight and strictly to WBC Cares.\u00a0 It helps children in schools, hospital and orphanages worldwide. Young people in extreme need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The race was the inspiration of Don Jose Sulaiman, to help young people through the people, by the people. Jose Manzur said: \u201cPeople\u00a0 have asked me…well if this is the seventh, then what will happen when we get to the twelfth round? I replied, my friends twelve rounds is in Boxing, in racing we can go to the twenty fifth round and even further! Every year we get an absolutely fantastic response from the runners. They really like this\u00a0 race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wave after wave of runners were waving to World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman up on the podium, who was congratulating them as the sprinted, ran, jogged and trotted by. There was no tottering.<\/p>\n

A different place, but the same race. Mauricio said: \u201cThis is\u00a0 a beautiful race with a great atmosphere, with champions and families.\u00a0 And this a very gratifying way to start a Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s race number seven and highly motivating. Everybody is smiling and happy with health.\u00a0 This is what the WBC family is all about. It\u2019s a beautiful moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
