International Marathon Popobike

Michel Awad, Miguel Martinez, and Emil F. Awad

The International Marathon Popobike offers two general categories, full and half marathon, and neither are intended for children under 15. Emil F. and Michel ran the half marathon, 32K. They started in the last category, beginners 20. I ran with Michel and Emil F. did it alone. This was great training and we had a lot of fun. Emil F. (10) did it in 2:31, 374/873 of all 32K categories; and Michel (7) did it in 3:04, 577/873 of all 32K categories!

Thank you Gilberto Soliman for organizing such excellent races!
