The cost of the kit is $350 Mexican pesos, and all funds raised will go towards our reforestation campaign.

Can't join us in person or not from Veracruz? No problem! You can always order the kit, and when you visit, we'll give it to you along with a tour of our space, plus the opportunity for free camping!

​​

🤝 For sponsors: If you're interested in sponsoring our race, we offer the opportunity to include your logo on the back of the official event t-shirt and on our website. Contact us for more details on how you can be part of this initiative and promote your brand while supporting an important environmental cause.

​​

With the funds raised, we'll have an inventory of materials necessary for reforestation, which we can lend to interested individuals. This will include tools such as:

​​

• Picks

• Shovels

• McLeod tools

• Mechanical fire pumps

• Black bags

• Black soil

• Seeds

​​

Additionally, if you're looking to plant a specific tree, you can get the seeds, and we can grow the seedling in our greenhouse before transferring it to the nursery. Remember to contact biologists or local authorities to select the most suitable tree for your region.

Don't forget that native trees in the region develop strong roots, which prevent erosion and are less susceptible to falling during strong regional winds.
