For all you runners out there!\u00a0 We wanted to draw attention to the great race opportunities that are being offered here in the Riviera Maya.\u00a0 Like other major cities all across the world, the Riviera Maya is joining in on this much participated trend. Last month we told you about 5k and 10k (3 and 6 mile) race that was held right here in Playa del Carmen<\/a> and since then we have traveled to Cancun<\/a> to participate in the 5 and 10 k Neon Race in Cancun.<\/p>\n

A Family Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

This turned out to be an incredible event for runners and also for supporters who were cheering on their friends and family!\u00a0 The event started at 6 pm where runners got themselves all decked out with Neon Paint and glow sticks!\u00a0 There were other items for sale like funny colorful hats, sunglasses and glowing headbands!\u00a0 It was a chance to express yourself and be creative while you run!\u00a0 We saw people all dressed up with neon colored wigs, body paint, crazy skirts and stockings and bright colored running sneakers!\u00a0 It definitely brought personality and fun to running!<\/p>\n


\nNeon Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as the night sky came along the sky was lit up with Neon colors and it looked awesome!!\u00a0 There was a slight hiccup when a huge raincloud made its way through about 10 minutes before starting but that didn\u2019t stop the runners.\u00a0 The race went on!\u00a0 Thankfully the rain stopped shortly after and the runners had a dry run!<\/p>\n

Why Pay to Run?<\/strong><\/p>\n

But what\u2019s with the trend?\u00a0 Why would someone pay money for a number for something they can do for free every day in their own neighborhood?<\/p>\n

One of our team members who ran the race says:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t necessarily love running but I am addicted to the feeling you get when crossing the finish line!\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing to see all the people out there cheering you on!\u00a0 It\u2019s invigorating and exciting and gives you adrenaline!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNobody actually wants to run a 21k or 42k race but they want the feeling you get from surviving it and accomplishing the seemingly impossible task of pushing your body to the limit and fighting through to the end.\u00a0 It makes other things seem less impossible in life.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe all run for different reasons and all of them being great ones and healthy ones!\u00a0 You can run because your happy or maybe you need to burn some anger, or maybe you just want to let your mind be free for each step you take towards the finish line; it could be as simple as running for a cause like breast cancer or other wonderful organizations where your efforts will be appreciated.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI have good strong legs!\u00a0 When I run I remember the people who don\u2019t have legs and wish they could run.\u00a0 This is why I run and why it feels good!\u201d<\/em>
\nAs the Good Feeling catches on we will likely see more and more of these races popping up and definitely more contributors.\u00a0 If you are looking for other race opportunities close to Playa here are a couple recommendations:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe running Dead Cancun\u201d https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheRunningDeadCancun<\/a> coming to Puerto Morelos on September 22nd!\u00a0 You may choose to be a runner having to escape the zombies or twist it up a bit and do a monster chase to scare away the runners.\u00a0 Sounds like a super fun haunted house type event to me!<\/p>\n

Then there is the Annual Marathon Riviera Maya coming October 27th<\/sup> right in Playa del Carmen! https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maratonrivieramaya<\/a><\/p>\n
