Episode 80 - Tomás Antonio Gallo Padilla General Director, Guadalajara Council of Sports - a podcast by Mass Participation World

It's been a while since we have visited Latin America on The Aid Station and today we head to Guadalajara, (yes I had to practice the pronunciation many times) Mexico to meet Tomás Antonio Gallo Padilla General Director, Guadalajara Council of Sports.

There is no doubt that the city of Guadalajara puts a huge emphasis on getting it's citizens outdoors and active and that COVID-19 has necessitated the implementation of some creative alternatives which has included the creation of a huge amount of digital content.

Last week the City would ordinarily have celebrated the 16th anniversary of closing what now amounts to 20.8km of roads every Sunday for over 100,000 people to come out and be active in both structured an informal activities. That has not happened since March but there is hope it will return in the next few months.

Tomas is also President of the organising committee of the Guadalajara Marathon and Half Marathon. Make sure you listen till the end to hear the inspiring story of the prisoner.
