Why This Event Matters

Events like these are essential stepping stones for young runners aiming to compete at higher levels. They provide structure, discipline, and opportunities to gain exposure in the athletic world.

However, financial challenges often stand in the way of promising talent. Travel expenses, training, and equipment are necessary but costly. Thanks to Oax Sport and supporters, Juan and Mane have received the backing they need to participate.

Traveling for the Competition

Coming from Magdalena Apasco, Etla, and Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, respectively, Juan and Mane must travel to El Espinal, requiring logistical and financial planning. With partial support from Airbnb earnings and community fundraising, they’ve been able to cover some expenses, but continued backing is crucial for future competitions.

Training and Preparation

Juan and Mane train at Titanes Sport Clinic, where they receive structured training under the guidance of Coach Uber. Their regimen includes:

  • Performance assessments to track progress
  • Customized training programs for endurance and speed
  • Mental conditioning for focus and confidence

The Importance of Proper Equipment

Having the right gear is vital for competitive performance. Juan recently received a pair of Nike Victory 2 track spikes, valued at over 4,000 MXN, thanks to the generosity of Emma Francey.

“El apoyo que me ha brindado OaxSport sin duda alguna ha sido muy importante en mi carrera deportiva, ya que lo han hecho de muchas formas, las cuales han tenido un gran impacto. El tenerlos como respaldo hace que pueda esforzarme más.” – Juan Zurita Victoria

“Contar con buen calzado será muy bueno, ya que podré dar mi mayor esfuerzo y estoy seguro que esto se verá reflejado en el resultado.” – Juan Zurita Victoria
