“We are very satisfied with everything that has been experienced; without a doubt, it was a great challenge and days of hard work for the entire team. It was undoubtedly a challenge for us. More than three thousand people registered, and we had a very good response from the participants,” stated Ivana Pérez, head of the area.
“We began our administration with two very large and important events for the city: the San Antonio Awards ceremony and the Reyes and Mini Reyes Marathon. And we understand that a positive assessment can be made because we had less than a month to prepare everything,” noted the Undersecretary of Sports, Ivana Pérez; who also highlighted that, in parallel, they continued with other activities that were already scheduled and also required the support of the department.”
When asked about the resources used for the city's most important sporting event, the official noted, “the truth is we are satisfied, because regarding the budget, we tried to reduce the contributions that the Municipality of Concordia had to make to a minimum, because given the economic situation we are experiencing, we had to adapt and carry this Marathon forward because, as every year, we know the importance it has for the city's identity.
The budget used by the current administration was half of what previous administrations used, and with that, we covered all the operating expenses it required. “That is why I want to highlight the support we had from all the staff of the undersecretariat, from all the municipal areas that worked, and from the private companies that made their contribution; because it was all management and support from sponsors, clubs, and individuals who joined as volunteers,” emphasized Pérez.
“This activity,” noted Ivana Pérez, “became an event in itself because it was experienced like a celebration; due to the emotion of the winners and the joy of everyone who accompanied us until the end. There were prizes in all categories, so this was positive because it encourages the runners for the next edition, which we will begin to plan now.”
