Episode 40 - Luis Vinker, Race Director, Bueno Aires Marathon - a podcast by Mass Participation World

We round off this week on The Aid Station with Edition 40 in Beunos Aires, Argentina, where we meet Luis Vinker, Race Director of Beunos Aires Marathon.

The lockdown in Argentina has been strict and has seen Luis who's day job is working for the local newspaper mostly locked down at home with little opportunity to go outdoors.

It has had a massive impact on the economy and lives of it's people who are sports mad with the obvious passion for football and also rugby.

Running is popular and growing with 20,000 in the half marathon and 11,000 in the full. The events are known for their fast scenic routes which attract many of the world's best and opportunities for PR's.

Luis talks about inspiring moments of cancer survivors running in the events but one of the highlights which sounds spine-tingling is the 20,000 participants in the half marathon signing the national anthem on the start line.
