Ruba announces 10th annual charity race for childhood cancer support

The housing developer Ruba has announced the tenth edition of the Ruba Race Chihuahua, scheduled for November 8 at 8:00 AM. The 5-kilometer race aims to raise funds for Cadena de Amor contra el Cáncer Infantil A.C., a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive support to children battling cancer.

All proceeds from the event will go to the association, which offers shelter, food, education, medication, and medical accompaniment. Imelda Gomez, founder of the association, noted that 95 percent of the children they assist are from indigenous and low-income communities, primarily from the Sierra Tarahumara region. The organization currently supports 45 minors, with 17 residing in their support house.

The race will begin at the Discobolo of the Ciudad Deportiva and conclude at the Faculty of Law of the Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua (UACH). Participants can register via the Chronosport platform for 380 pesos. Since 2016, the event has engaged approximately 3,000 runners to support various civil associations.
