Carrera San Martín 2025: Run with Purpose and Transform Lives in Guatemala
The 12th San Martín Race will take place on October 26 in Guatemala City to support the Margarita Tejada Foundation and promote the inclusion of people with Down Syndrome.
San Martín's race returns on October 26 for its 12th edition, consolidating itself as a sports and solidarity event that brings together families, athletes, and companies with one common goal: raising funds for the Margarita Tejada Foundation’s scholarship program, which supports people with Down syndrome in Guatemala.
An Event that Combines Sports and Solidarity
The event will kick off on 12th Street, Reforma Avenue, Zone 9, Guatemala City. Warm-up starts at 7:00 a.m., followed by the traditional “Caminatón” at 7:30 a.m., and the official race at 8:00 a.m., featuring 5K and 10K routes along the Reforma-Américas circuit.
Since its first edition, the San Martín Race has become a tradition that promotes inclusion. To date, it has raised more than Q.4.9 million, funds that have expanded services, provided training, and created greater opportunities for the integration of people with Down syndrome.
Voices that Inspire the San Martín Race
Daniela Corella, Corporate Financial Manager at San Martín, said:
“We are proud to celebrate the 12th edition of our race. This event is much more than a competition; it’s a movement of solidarity that reflects what we can achieve when we come together as a society. We thank sponsors, runners, and families who make it possible to continue supporting the Margarita Tejada Foundation.”
Meanwhile, María Olga Díaz, Chairwoman of the Margarita Tejada Foundation, added:
“Every step in this race represents hope and opportunities for our children and youth with Down syndrome. The solidarity of Guatemalans allows us to keep working for the inclusion and well-being of those we serve at the Foundation.”
