With more than fifty years of celebration every last Sunday of August, the Buen Viaje Athletic Race, in the Alameda neighborhood in Guanajuato Capital, is one of the most demanding and demanding races in the state capital.
The organization of this race has passed on the baton, since in its beginnings it was organized by Armando Almaguer and “La Bomba” Rodriguez, today Ariel Almaguer keeps this traditional race alive in its 55th edition.
In a festive atmosphere and in honor of the Lord of Buen Viaje, it started around 10 in the morning.
