Titanes Performance Camp 2025 Report

Three days of real training. Teams traveling hours to get there. Visiting guests from abroad. And 12,820.72 MXN raised through Oax Sport Inc (USA) and Oax Sport AC (Mexico) to make it all happen.

By Diana García (Oax Sport). Reviewed with input from Juan Victoria, Chair of the Athlete & Program Support Committee.

We shared the camp details earlier in December. This report covers what happened, where the money went, and what comes next.

The Camp Itself

From December 26–28, 2025, Titanes Sport Clinic ran a three-day performance camp across three venues in Oaxaca: Polideportivo, CU Track, and Parque Primavera.

This was hands-on. Athletes trained. Coaches watched, asked questions, and saw the thinking behind every cue and correction.

Everyone left with something practical: baseline numbers for speed and power, before-and-after technique video, a written report, and clear priorities for the next training block.

The point was simple. Test whether the Titanes system still works when things are not ideal. Athletes from different regions. Different levels. A heavier schedule. Less rest than usual.

Earlier in December, Titanes tested the system at a national meet in Querétaro. That trip answered: How does this hold up in competition?

This camp answered the next question: Now that we saw the gaps, what do we fix?

You compete first. Then you come back to the track with clearer targets.

The Money: Where It Came From and Where It Went

During the camp period, Oax Sport Inc (USA) and Oax Sport AC (Mexico) moved 12,820.72 MXN through the Oax Sport AC bank account. This total includes money earmarked for the Freelap timing system and money used for camp access and camp-week logistics. Timing-system funds remain designated for the Freelap purchase.

Sources of Support

1) Givebutter donations designated for the Freelap timing system: 4,051 MXN

Supporters: Win (Seattle, WA). Kenneth (Auckland, CA). Vivi & Isla (Santa Cruz, CA).

These donations were routed through Oax Sport AC and earmarked for the Freelap system purchase and related coordination.

2) Team entry support from Emma (France): 4,000 MXN

Emma’s support through the Oax Sport general fund covered camp entries for two teams from the Isthmus: MV Tejones (Chahuites, Oaxaca) and Club de Atletismo Guajolotes (Santiago Niltepec, Oaxaca).

3) Athlete support and logistics: 4,769.72 MXN

This covered snacks, local transportation, park entry fees, and a special trail session in Ixtepeji. It also included a support donation for the local athletes who helped make that session possible.

Athletes supported through this flow included Juan, Yadeny, Emilio, and Dylan.

Verified in the Oax Sport AC bank account transfer log: 4,769.72 MXN went to athlete support and camp logistics (camp-week logistics only), including snacks, local transportation, park entry fees, and Ixtepeji session expenses.

Where It Went

To Titanes Sport Clinic (Coach Uber Clain): 8,051 MXN. This supported camp operations and Titanes’ ongoing work, including timing-system donations held for the Freelap purchase and team entry support.

To athletes and camp logistics: 4,769.72 MXN. This helped athletes show up and participate, and kept the practical side of the camp running.

The Teams Who Made the Trip

Getting teams from the Isthmus to Oaxaca City is not simple. It means transportation, food, lodging, and a lot of coordination.

Oax Sport did not cover everything. We helped lighten the load.

MV Tejones from Chahuites

We helped cover partial costs so four people could attend: Coach José Mariano Velázquez Palacios and three athletes (Raúl Martínez Ramírez, Roberto Ramos Merino, and Javier Toscano Figueroa).

The equivalent of four full camp entries was sent on their behalf, funded by Emma (France) through the Oax Sport general fund.

The rest came from the club’s own effort, family support, and backing from the local government (H. Ayuntamiento de Chahuites 2025–2027).

Club de Atletismo Guajolotes from Santiago Niltepec

We helped with partial coverage for four people: Coach Dorian Serrano Pereyra and three athletes (Dorian Roel Serrano Espinoza, Miranda Sesma Castillo, and Kristen Ramírez Ojeda).

Four full camp entries were covered, also funded by Emma (France).

Their municipality (H. Ayuntamiento de Santiago Niltepec 2025–2027) supported coordination and institutional backing to help make the trip work.

Ocelotes from the Central Valleys

A third group, Ocelotes, received free camp entry as a courtesy from Titanes to Oax Sport in recognition of fundraising and coordination. This is one example of how fundraising and coordination translated into direct access for athletes.

Three athletes were covered this way: Abril, Amiliano, and Katherine.

Titanes covered their entries. Oax Sport handled coordination and follow-up.

Athletes Who Earned Their Way Through Running Tours

Not everything came from donations. Some athletes helped fund their own camp participation by hosting running tours for visitors.

For those specific activities, 100% of what they earned went directly to help them attend the camp.

Athletes who did this included Juan, Yadeny, Emilio, and Dylan.

Each tour was not only about showing visitors the city and trails. It was a way to earn a spot at better training opportunities.

Special Guest and Coach Spotlight

Alejandra Paulina Ortiz Hernández joined the camp to train with the group and gave a talk about her journey in athletics and what she has learned competing at a high level.

The camp was led by Uber Clain Herrera Aquino, head coach of Titanes Sport Clinic. His approach blends biomechanics, motor learning, speed development, and practical teaching methods athletes can actually use.

What Coach Uber Saw

We asked Coach Uber what he was trying to accomplish and what stood out. Here is what he shared, condensed.

The Main Goal

He wanted to put the Titanes system to the test in a less controlled setting. New athletes. Different coaches. More sessions. Travel fatigue. The pressure of training with new people.

If it works there, it works. If it does not, you fix it.

What Went Right

The athletes were surprisingly independent. They did not need constant coaching.

Warm-ups were calm and purposeful. You could tell most athletes understood what each drill was for.

During reps, they stuck to the plan instead of racing each other.

Even when tired, they kept their shape. Rhythm stayed steady. The small technical fixes did not disappear.

Uber did not call it perfect. He liked that the basics showed up again and again.

What Surprised Him

By Day 3, with more sessions and less rest, you would expect things to fall apart.

Instead, some athletes looked sharper as the camp went on.

To him, that meant the base is there. The work does not fall apart when people are tired or out of their routine.

What Changes for 2026

More space for athletes to solve problems on their own.

More strategic, game-like scenarios.

More event-specific work, with athletes making more decisions.

What He Would Say to First-Time Supporters

You are backing a process that learns, adapts, and develops athletes over time.

What Juan Victoria Saw (From the Oax Sport Side)

Juan Victoria is Chair of the Athlete & Program Support Committee. He participated as a middle-distance runner and helped coordinate logistics for Oax Sport. We asked him five questions.

What Were We Trying to Do?

Give more athletes access to tools they do not usually have. Testing. Video analysis. Structured technical work.

How Do Querétaro and This Camp Connect?

Querétaro showed what was missing. The camp was built to address those gaps. Compete first, then train smarter.

What Did Running Tours Teach Us?

They are real support. For athletes, guiding tours is motivating. They see their work opening doors to better training and more competitions.

How Important Was Logistics?

Very. We had teams from the Isthmus and visiting guests. Things worked because several people stepped up to help. That reduced stress so athletes could focus on training.

What’s Next for Oax Sport and Titanes?

Keep building resources. Support travel to key meets. Acquire equipment like the Freelap timing system and strength gear. Keep finances organized so athletes and coaches can focus on training.

Guests, Altitude, and Forest Miles

On Day 3, a group of distance runners headed up to Santa Catarina Ixtepeji, about 3,300 meters (10,800 feet), for an easy mountain run on quiet trails.

Amanda, a visiting runner from New Zealand, joined. Tyler, an engineer from Strava, came along to learn about local trail and track culture. Juan Victoria coordinated logistics so everything ran smoothly.

It was a different kind of session. Forest, altitude, conversation, and a long brunch afterward.

Still tied to the same goal. Give local athletes more tools, more experience, and a reason to keep showing up.
