Community running events and charity races have been organized across various regions in Latin America to promote physical health and social causes.

In early August, the Maratón +Vida in Bella Vista, Argentina, focused on mental health awareness and the prevention of problematic substance use. Simultaneously, the Sportown Los Altos race in Totonicapón, Guatemala, raised funds to support children and elderly residents.

By mid-August, participation scales increased in other areas. The Carrera Quilmes in Argentina drew over 6,000 participants to celebrate a local anniversary. In Guayaquil, Ecuador, preparations began for the Bimbo Global Race, an event designed to include charitable donations to a local food bank based on participant registration numbers.
