What the fund does

This fund unlocks national-level opportunities for talented young athletes in Oaxaca, many from rural and Indigenous communities.

It covers elite coaching, performance gear, GPS training tools, pre-race nutrition and travel to qualifiers.

Why it matters

Many athletes qualify with borrowed gear and train on rural roads with minimal support. Talent is abundant; access is not. This fund provides the tools and travel needed to compete fairly.

What the fund delivers

  • Elite coaching: personalised training plans and long-term mentorship from certified coaches
  • Gear and technology: performance gear, GPS devices and recovery tools
  • Travel and nutrition: transport, entry fees and pre-race meals to reach qualifiers

Goals to 2028

  • Support five to eight elite athletes a year to reach national qualifiers and finals
  • Reduce dropout caused by gear and travel costs
