“You don’t need fancy gear or expertise or money,” says Clarin’s Jimena

Olazar, “so there are no excuses for not joining this new phenomenon.”

Seasoned runners and would-be corredores in Buenos Aires also have a

great support network from the local Club de Corredores to Runnin’

Magazine with over 12,000 Facebook friends to the City of Buenos

Aires herself which offers Buenos Aires Corre, free running education

and training in five locations throughout Capital Federal.

Who Runs Buenos Aires? It’s a good question to ask considering this is an election

year in Argentina. Last year we wrote that BA had suddenly become A Runner’s Paradise. This year the sport

has exploded with bigger races, better courses, more sponsors and, most importantly, runners.

Clarín says the “Boom de Carreras” is drawing 20% more participants than last year while female participation

has grown 50% over the past decade. The sport’s beauty is its simplicity.

A lot more.

The 2009 Edition of the Nike 10K converted Libertador Avenue Into A Sea of Blue.

Running teams in BA, Rosario, Córdoba and Mendoza, both informal and

corporate-sponsored, are also growing at a phenomenal rate: 600% since

2001. And the payoff for all that training? Huge weekend races that feel

more like a party than a pounding. Part road race, part rock concert, part

love parade with thousands donning the requisite race shirt, road races in

Buenos Aires are the most fun you can have with your shoes on.

We Run Buenos Aires, Nike’s annual 10K has become one of the most

anticipated events on the running calendar. For the 2010 edition, the streets

were bathed in a sea of day-glo green shirts, and Nike further solidified its

reputation as the brand synonymous with running in Argentina. (Race Video) The 2010 We Run Buenos Aires 10K with the Obelisk in the Background

Hooray for Hollywood. Hooray for Argentina.

The 2011 edition of We Run Buenos Aires will take over the

streets of BA on November 12, and this year’s color choice

would make any die-hard Florida Gator, Clemson Tiger or

Holland National Team fan (all Nike-sponsored clubs) proud.

This year’s WRBA also promises to be one of the most high-tech

and viral road races thanks in part to Nike + technology and the

social networking tools employed during the online registration

process. When registering for the race, runners are given the

option of e-mailing four friends, tweeting their registration,

posting on their own facebook page and even receiving SMS

updates on their smartphone including their finish time the

minute they cross the line.

Another year, another race, more proof of who really runs

Buenos Aires. If Nike continues to dominate the local landscape,

runners may begin to think BA stands for “Beaverton, Argentina.”
