A bit of history about the Maya Race in Palermo
The Maya race in Palermo is the more traditional athletic race of the Argentina. Towards the end of 1971, the Metropolitan Athletic Federation appealed to the journalist José María Muñoz, one of the founders of the South American Club and passionate about the sport, to come up with an event to support athletics. Together with Juan José Taccone (President of the Federation at that time) and his colleague Gonzalo Pertierra (of Radio Rivadavia) had a brilliant idea: Maya Race, an athletic competition that would meet all the lovers of the race of our country.
Since its beginning, this pedestrian test was constantly growing, rapidly becoming an international competition involving most recognized figures.
