Running for a Good Cause, the 2nd Royal Resorts Foundation Race

The Second Royal Resorts Foundation Race will take place on February 19, 2017 and all our Royal runners are invited to sign up, enjoy the race and help those in need.

The Royal Resorts Foundation is partnering with Pro Niños Excepcionales A.C., a Cancun NGO for children with physical, neurological and mental challenges and the race goal is to support a man who has devoted his life to caring for sick children but now needs a helping hand himself, Maclovio Tun.

At 74 years old, Maclovio is the sole breadwinner for his family; his wife Carmen is paralyzed and their son Reyes has cerebral palsy. Their house is unfit to live in; the roof leaks and whole sections are damaged beyond repair. There are no secure windows or doors and no bathroom facilities. The money raised from the race will be used to renovate and extend the house, add a bathroom, bedroom, ramps and other aids for easy access, making it a safe, healthy and comfortable space for the family.

Sign up for the Second Royal Resorts Foundation Race and help renovate Maclovio’s home. The race is over 10, 5 or 3 kilometers or you can take part in a 3-kilometer walk. Children have their own Fun Run too so the whole family can take part.

Sign up today by emailing contact@royalresortsfoundation.org

Invite your friends and family to take part!

Race open to 600 competitors.

The closing date for registration is February 10 or when the field of 600 competitors has been filled.
