It is worth noting that there will be a special awards ceremony for the Popular Chía race, in which nearly 2,000 athletes will participate and the 30 best will be awarded, both for women and men. The first place in each branch will receive one million pesos.
For its part, the elite category, a test that will start at 11:30 in the morning, will reward the first 15 among men and the 10 best among women. The winners will receive a reward of 6 million pesos, while those who occupy second places will have a reward of 3.5 million, and those who come in third place will have a reward of 2.3 million.
The event schedule will begin at 7:00 in the morning with the senior walk, and then give way to the children's categories and close with the elite race, who will do a 10 km route.
