It was a nice run with a local athlete. The pace was good and it was a safe route down a bicycle path. The trees provided a nice shade. The bicycle path is in between 2 roads with less traffic as you near the Tule the Árbol. I don’t speak so good Spanish so the communication was limited. I didn’t see the big tree, but for the rest it was a nice experience

This was my third experience with Oax runs and the nets one so far. It was great to get a long run in, and most of the path is entirely protected from cars. It was beautiful to see the Tule town and surrounding countryside, and Luis was a great help in making sure I’d make it all 20km. Thanks to Fahad too for being so communicative and helpful! Can’t wait to come back to Oaxaca and do some more runs w it h Oax runs.

I'm an avid runner. Before visiting Oaxaca, I was unable to maintain my running in CDMX due to location and air quality. When I saw OaxSports offering running experiences with Oaxacan athletes in many different settings, I booked this experience immediately. What this experience isn't is a tour guide. You're in it for a nice workout. If you're expecting this experience to be a jog and talk as a typical tour, then I'd suggest changing the expectations. Fahad is a volunteer for OaxSports. He speaks great English. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about Oaxaca and its culture. You're getting a candid perspective regarding this beautiful town. I ran with an ultra-marathoner named Mario who just finished a 100k. We had a great time. Originally set to run 20k but we ran 26k instead. This experience made me new friends and a purpose to help support these local athletes build their marks and characters. Come join and make new friends!

What a wonderful way to see the local area, meet Oaxacan athletes and get some hard training miles in. We couldn’t have asked for more from the experience with Fahad and OaxSports. We loved running with Felipe and Roque who are both charming and superb athletes with a bright future. So pleased we are able to support them on the journeys to National and international races. What a fantastic initiative OaxSports have created. Thank you! 🙏
