I am grateful…

by

“I am grateful to The Palapa Society for the great impact on my life and professional training. I depended on their support when I was in the third semester at the local High School in Todos Santos.”

“It was a great help for me to have this support since it helped my parents provide me an education and allowed me to finish high school. To my great surprise, I was also selected to continue the scholarship into my university career. Erick Ochoa, President of The Palapa Society and administrator of Beca scholarships, was always present with encouragement and support during my four years of university.”

“Thanks to The Palapa Society for supporting many young people as we finish our studies and fulfill some of our dreams. I graduated this past July with a degree in primary education. With all my heart, I thank all the people who make up The Palapa Society for their dedication, time, love, and resources to help young people improve themselves. I give infinite thanks for helping make this possible.”

Carrera 5K Racers Todos Santos

The Palapa Society run is back after a two-year hiatus due to Hurricane Odile and a year of repaving streets in Todos Santos. The run is officially called the Carrera de Todos Santos 5/10K. With its return, the run has expanded to 2 races. The La Esquina 5K run and the Romex 10K race will now be offered to runners in our Pueblo Magico. Begun in 2009, The Palapa Society is organizing this benefit run in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, intended to bring together the people of our community for good health, a fun experience, and a great cause.

If you are a seasoned athlete or running your first organized event, the two options make this an ideal run for you. This annual event will be held on Saturday, March 25th, 2017. Registration begins that day at 7:30 a.m. with the race at 9 a.m. Plan to arrive early for warm ups and registration.

Course Route

The run route will begin and end at the Todos Santos Town Plaza with the 5K staying primarily on paved streets with a little section of unpaved roads. The 10K will initially follow the same route but then head south out toward Punta Lobos on the dirt road. Volunteers will be stationed along the marked route to direct, cheer you on, and provide water. To view course map, click here.
