“The Athletic Race is a tradition for our institution and a sporting symbol that has been held since 1988. It is an event with which we have the opportunity to learn more about the UIS both walking, jogging and running and do physical activity to have healthy habits that are important for our lives,” said Fabio Villafrades Gonzalez, director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports.

With only one month left for the competition, the organization recommends those interested in participating to start a proper training and have a good diet to arrive in optimal conditions on March 30.

“From the physical part it is important to train coordination, flexibility, strength work with your own body and endurance because this is an endurance test with the four kilometers. It is also good to make a recognition of the route within the UIS and the issue of food, all this combined is key to a good performance during the race, “said Jorge Buitrago Espitia, professor of the Department of Physical Education and Sports.
