Santo Domingo, February 19. 2020 \u2013 More than 1,500 enthusiastic runners
\nparticipated in the 7th Annual Carrefour 10K marathon, organized by the French-
\nbased company.
\nThe marathon was a charity event celebrated to support the Foundation \u201cFriends
\nAgainst Children\u2019s Cancer\u201d (Facci). The marathon is part of the company\u2019s active
\nsocial entrepreneurial program. The activity began at 7:00 a.m., on Sunday,
\nFebruary 23, leaving the Downtown Center Mall \u2013 in the heart of the capital city \u2013
\nand ending in the nearby \u201cMirador del Sur\u201d Park, situated five kilometers from the
\nstarting point.
\nAs in previous years, the event was organized under a certified route, with the digital
\nregistry of the running time of the participants, t-shirts for each runner, medals,
\nawards from the sponsors, hydration stops every 2.5 kilometers, among other
\nbenefits. Last year, the organizers added new categories: participants 70 years and
\nolder could also participate. This made the marathon an even more inclusive
\nactivity.
\nAside from the traditional Female and Male Overall, other categories included age
\ngroups that went from 29 and under; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59 and 60-69 years of age.
\nFirst place winners received awards valued at RD$3,000,\u00a0RD$2,200\u00a0and
\nRD$1,500,\u00a0respectively. The big attraction will be a raffle where the big prize will
\nbe a round-trip ticket to Paris on Air Caraibes, for one person.<\/p>\n
