FIRST ANNUAL 5K RUN IN LO DE MARCOS … IT’S A WRAP!
The first Annual 5K run in Lo de Marcos, organized by the talented team of professionals at Galvan was a tremendous success on all levels.
Even today, two days after the event the town of Lo de Marcos is still all abuzz with the quality and attendance of this locally produced event that is sure to double in size with the second Annual run scheduled for January of next year.
With just under 85 registered runners, the event on all counts was a total success. This success would not have been possible without the advance planning, marketing and tremendous attention to detail extended by Galvan’s Vice President of Operations, Karen Contreras and her trusted Assistant, Emmanuel Corona. While it’s true everyone in the office was a critical component in the events overall success, we owe it all to Karen and Emmanuel!
We had 3 winners:
1st place was Andrés Herrera from Puerto Vallarta with the number 81 he ran the 5k in 18:49 minutes.
2nd place was Roberto Olmos a proudly local runner from Lo de Marcos with the number 49 he ran the 5k in 21:10 minutes.
3rd place was Emiliano Ortiz a 10 years old kid from Puerto Vallarta with the number 84 he ran the 5k in 21:36 minutes.
This event was made possible in part by the generous sponsorships of Galvan Real Estate and Services , El Vinatero Bar, Ferretería Lo de Marcos, Neptuno Restaurant-Bar & Billar, Fidelmar Rosas, La Quinta Restaurant and Bar, Las Glorias Restaurante and Restaurante Olivia. We ask that you return the favor and support these businesses when you can.
Mark your calendars now for January 18 of 2026 for the 2nd Annual 5K run in Lo de Marcos.
