3 weeks before the beginning of the event it was announced every sunday in “Ruta Vallarta” the main avenue of the city and where
is Parque Revolution located. During sundays thousands of cyclists, runners and families used it to get fun so we put signs in
strategic spots, we have coverage in the main mass media, press conference before and after the record, live interviews in radio
and a specific mention in the main local news programs.
OUR RECORD IN 2009.
Break our last record now with
100 hoursin other emblematic place of the city:
“Chapultepec Avenue”
(other important place of Guadalajara because it is in the middle of a famous cultural area,
with a lot of restaurants, art galleries, the USA embassy and with a great deal of vehicular and pedestrian
flow because the specific point is a linear traffic island.)
OUR GOAL IN 2011.
With an original and impressive way, make a big diffusion of the work of Toastmasters International and Mar Adentro de México,
both non profit associations with an specific mission in the educational area (communication, leadership, human
developement and social compromise).
And taking advantage of 3 aspects:
1. The successful event in 2009 and the credibility that we accomplished the record with the participation of thousand of
citizens.
2. The celebration of the Spring Conference of the District 34 of Toastmasters address in Guadalajara.
3. The thenth aniversary of Mar Adentro de México.
