First, Tantará hosted the Juegos Escolares. 15 high schools from the area came with their best athletes for two days of athletic events. There was a high jump, long jump, various sprinting events, soccer, and volleyball. Tantará was filled to the brim with students, and alive with an atmosphere of competition. 
Juegos Escolares were the perfect way to get excited for the Lima Half-Marathon. 12 of us from the LIcaH Region (Lima, Ica, Huancavelica) made our way to Lima and to run the Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 10K. Everyone finished their race with flying colors, and this morning we had our names in the newspaper (along with 14,000 other runners).
