In August 2026, Toluca organized multiple athletic events to promote community engagement and support local services. 

The tenth Préndete Athletic Race was held to commemorate National Firefighters Day and benefit the Heroico Cuerpo de Bomberos de Toluca. The event included various distances, such as 5 km and 10 km races, as well as competitions for children. To highlight the physical rigors of their profession, more than 40 firefighters from different municipalities participated, with some completing the 10-kilometer course while wearing full protective gear weighing over 20 kilograms.

Additionally, the city scheduled the fourth Cruz Azul Toluca Athletic Race for late August, featuring 5 km and 10 km competitions alongside a 2 km recreational walk.
