SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
We are continuously committed to valuing the nature and culture of the Altiplano Potosino. We integrate ourselves into the identity of its communities, towns, and cities to share the essence of this extraordinary region with the world—seeking to evoke, even if briefly, the deep longing to be in the Desert of San Luis Potosí.
Furthermore, the environment remains untouched by aggressive interventions; the services and products required for the event are locally sourced; all waste generated during the race is transported to the city of San Luis Potosí for proper handling (recycling); and we avoid using non-recyclable disposable products.
