Tolima August 2026 regional events
Overview
In early August 2026, Tolima province hosted two community running races. On 2 August, Barranquilla staged the ninth Corremitierra race with multiple distance options, while the rural El Totumo race linked the towns of El Totumo and Rovira with 5 km and 10 km routes. Organisers highlighted health promotion, local identity and tourism benefits.
Later in the month, Tolima shifted focus to its agricultural and cultural heritage. From 14 to 16 August, Chaparral held the IV Feria Internacional del Café "Tolima Corazón Cafetero", featuring a Grand International Coffee Auction attended by buyers from ten countries and over 120 exhibitors. Simultaneously, Honda hosted the third Encuentro Ciudadanos del Río as part of La Magdalena Fest, offering free cultural activities, musical performances and a creative‑entrepreneurship fair. Together, these events illustrate Tolima’s strategy of leveraging sport, coffee production and river‑front culture to boost regional visibility and economic activity.
