LAS TERRENAS ATHLETIC CLUB
ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF LAS TERRENAS MARATHON is to promote the practice of athletics by our community’s youth. We would like to provide the opportunity to practice this sport to our youth, and we want to focus especially on those who because of lack of resources or limited opportunities may otherwise not be able to do so.
Currently, athletic sports are popular around the world, and they promote not only sports skills, but also a pleasant social and community environment in a productive context, increasing self-esteem in a beneficial team setting. The practice of this sport can begin at a very early age in a recreational environment, but the competitive nature of many young people is very important and it would be a mistake to ignore this competitive aspect. Those with talent can progress to serious training and competition, and the ones who do not have this aptitude, can go on to feel good about themselves and stay in shape.
Since the launch of the first edition of Las Terrenas 10K, we found that there is a deep-rooted interest in athletic events in our youth, especially in road races. We noted that many of our young participants have a special talent for this sport, and we want to take advantage of this talent by establishing a program that creates the opportunity to develop these capabilities.
As a result, LAS TERRENAS MARATHON has created the Las Terrenas Athletics Club, a non-profit organization with the aim of promoting the practice of these sports in our youth and providing an alternative to traditional sports practiced in the area.
The Las Terrenas Athletics Club seeks to offer its participants both theoretical as well as practical training in road races, so they can improve their performance in future events and are able to excel in the regional and national sports arena. It also seeks to provide the opportunity for our participants of becoming leaders and promoters of athletics for our youth and our area.
We need your help; we need proper running shoes, or your resources, your time or your talent. If you have experience in athletics training and would like to help with our project, please contact us. If you or your organization would like to donate to the Las Terrenas Athletics Club, or would like to sponsor one or more of our runners, individually or by teams, please contact us. For more information about our program please contact LT-ClubDeAtletismo@lasterrenasmarathon.com.
