What Types of Competitions Does It Include?

A marathon is defined as a 42-kilometer field race. If you are a high-performance athlete, you will surely be fascinated to compete and achieve your maximum potential in this athletics event, which will take place on Sunday the 16th. Additionally, the half-marathon is also available with a route of 21 kilometers, which many use as preparation for other competitions.

On Saturday the 15th, there will be 5 and 10-kilometer competitions held so that everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or experience can achieve their own goals and aspire to be on stage.

What Health Protocols Are Carried Out?

Competitive sports in the world have been on hiatus for a long time like most social activities, however, the time has come to resume training, focus efforts, and fitness goals that include putting on your tennis shoes and going for a run.

In addition to the protocols required by the WHO, such as the use of face masks, use of gel, etc. delayed departure times and distances are established in addition to the inclusion of chips that are delivered to competitors to ensure a healthy distance. In this way, it is not necessary to physically overtake others, but simply to achieve optimal performance in time and distance, measured individually.

Make sure that the hotel where you stay also has clear, safe, and verifiable protocols, such as Cozumel Palace that applies more than 250 preventitive measures with its Purely Palace protocol.
