Regala Sonrisas - Fun Run 2023

On a sunny Saturday morning, San Luis Potosi came alive with the sounds of runners at Parque Tangamanga. We partnered with IVANANTI to promote a Fun Run Event for the community. Organized by IVANANTI and Nutriendo, the Fun Run aimed to promote fitness, raise funds for Nutriendo, and foster a sense of camaraderie among participants.

The day began with a lively atmosphere at the park as participants arrived to register for the run. Volunteers donned bright red shirts, warmly welcomed everyone, and gladly received the 4 liters of milk the runners were encouraged to bring for the children in our program.

When the clock struck 8:00 am, the race started with cheers and applause. The main Fun Run event was either 3km or 5km through the picturesque Parque Tangamanga. Runners of all skill levels enthusiastically set off, some aiming for personal bests, while others relished the opportunity to be part of this community celebration.

Beyond the fun and celebration, the Fun Run left a lasting impact on the community. The funds raised through registrations made an impact on Fundacion Nutriendo. Additionally, the event fostered a sense of unity, bringing together diverse individuals and families from different backgrounds to bond over their shared commitment to fitness and community engagement. In total, we were able to collect 1,334 liters of milk!

This year's Fun Run was not just an ordinary run but a celebration of togetherness, health, and giving back. It brought joy to participants and spectators alike, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Through events like this, Grupo INAVANTI and Nutriendo demonstrated how a simple idea can blossom into a powerful force of positivity, leaving a lasting impact on both the participants and the community. We can't wait to lace up our sneakers for the next run!
