Register for the Fifth Royal Resorts Foundation Race, February 12, 2023
Registration is now open for the Fifth Royal Resorts Foundation Race on February 12, 2023, in Cancun. With the race, we will be raising money for a playground in the new Parque Cancun for all children to enjoy, including those with physical challenges. The goal is to raise $500,000 pesos. In previous years, the Royal Resorts Foundation Race helped build a house for a child with brittle bone syndrome, renovated a home for a family with mobility challenges, installed a kitchen at a community center for vulnerable teenagers and provided college scholarships for low-income students.

About Parque Cancun
A new community space for Cancun residents and visitors, Parque Cancun is taking shape on the original landfill site for the city of Cancun. The land has been reclaimed and reforested, transforming it into a green space with walkways, play areas, quiet corners for yoga and meditation and even chess classes, an amphitheater for concerts, palapas for environmental awareness talks, a timeline of the history of the world, a sundial and much more. In future stages of the Parque Cancun project, a biodiversity museum, nature trails and other attractions are planned.
Located behind the schools and universities on Bonampak Avenue in Downtown Cancun, it lies next to the mangrove forest on the shores of Nichupte Lagoon, which is a protected area, and it is a haven for wildlife, such as parrots, Yucatan jays, pygmy owls, coatimundi, opossum, raccoon and grey fox, among others.
From the outset, Royal Resorts has been involved in the development of the park, sending gardeners to help in the landscaping. The Royal Resorts Foundation has decided to give more support to this community cause in 2023 and proceeds from the race will be donated to the park to fund a children’s playground.
