Fitness
Get in shape through running
Chasing your first half marathon, your first race abroad, or a new PR in a new city? Whether you’re just starting out or already have a few races behind you, every pace is welcome. We’ll train together and show up race-ready.
Travel
Explore Mexico City with a local
Discover the food, neighborhoods and hidden spots locals love. The weekend is all planned, so you can join what you like and skip what you don’t.
Your host
Monica Gomez
I’m Monica, born in Mexico and now based in Austin. I joined a run club to make friends, back when I could barely run. Less than a year later, I ran my first marathon in Australia. Running became my passion. I’ve raced in Austin and abroad since, and my next challenge is a triathlon at CapTex Austin. If I can, so can you!
Before running, there was travel: a career in the travel industry and homes in Taiwan, China, Brazil and Canada. But Mexico is home. Spanish is my first language, and I can’t wait to show you my country.
Now I want to help you connect, see the world and get fit through running. See you at the start line!

Welcome to Mexico City!

Explore the city at your pace!
Morning walking tour of the historic center, then lunch together.
Pick your afternoon:

Day 3
Shake out and get race-ready!
Meet at Chapultepec for an easy 3 miles with a local running group, then a stretch. Breakfast together, then grab your bib at the expo. Free time, then an early carb-load dinner and race briefing.
It’s race day!
We head to the start line together, bright and early. Run your race, then breakfast together. Afternoon: race recovery (massage, sauna and cold plunge), or a nap. Evening: medals, stories and a toast at our post-race celebration dinner.
