Cinco de Mayo run promotes active way to celebrate early

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Rather than celebrating Cinco de Mayo with drinks, dancing, and food, the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) gave the community a more active way to celebrate a week early and all for a good cause.

The cultural center and RunFit hosted the annual Cinco de Mayo run morning, where runners could participate in a 5K run or walk, a 10K run or walk, or even a KidsK for the younger participants.

The event didn’t stop after the run, participants could also take part in a health fair.
