TIJUANA.- This September 18, the community of Playas de Tijuana will host the Second Annual Tour Tijuana 9 kilometer fun run. Event organizers state that the goal is to promote health and wellness while also showcasing the most iconic parts of the coastal city.

Starting at 8am, runners will start at Parque Mexico in Playas de Tijuana. From there, runners will head south along the main streets of the community which will be closed off for the event, then looping back north toward the border fence running 1.5 kilometers on the beach before returning to the surface streets to run the final kilometer to the finish line.

At the finish line, starting at 9am, there will be a street party for runners and their families to enjoy. This year's event boasts an improved finish line party in Parque Mexico, where local food and beverages (including local craft beer) will be showcased, with a heavy emphasis on healthy and organic nutrition.

There will be male and female categories, and the first, second and third place winners of each category will go home with gift bags including goodies, sponsored services, and cash. There will also be health booths set up at the finish line offering free consultations from Nutritionists, Nurses, Doctors, Psychologists, and Physical Trainers. There will also be a raffle featuring local products and services.

Tickets cost $150 pesos (children 12 and under run for free) and can be purchased at any one of the Synergylocations, or at the bar of Telefónica Gastro Park. For more information, visit the event's Facebook page, or email tourtijuana@gmail.com, or call 664-609-6248.
