(FILA Argentina) – With a theme of “Live to Run,” the annual FILA Race will double as a charity event to support three non-profit organizations in Argentina, as well as a promotional event for FILA’s new Kenya Racer 3 running shoe.
This Sunday, 17 April 2016, FILA Argentina will host its 7th annual 10k FILA Race on the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The circuit will start and finish at the Parque Micaela Bastida, taking a scenic route through the heart of Puerto Madero before concluding in a vendor area lined with music, activities, and some retailers. Fans of FILA will have the opportunity to purchase products from the brand's new collections at the FILA CENTER booth.
Similar to previous years, a percentage of the proceeds from this year’s FILA Race will be donated to three non-profit organizations in Argentina including the Hospice San Camilo, ASEMCO, and Granos de Mostaza. Participants will have the opportunity to direct their donations at the time of registration. Last year’s FILA Race drew over 10,000 runners and participants to the streets of Puerto Madero. FILA hopes to continue the momentum this year, and will be on-hand at the event to offer support and encouragement to all participants.
Sign ups for the FILA Race are currently taking place online. Each participant must be ready to provide a health certificate or sporting license as proof of medical fitness before participating in the event. All race participants will receive official FILA Race shirts, a time chip, as well as small gifts from event sponsors. Additional prizes will be awarded to race winners.
