This race is an annual event to bring awareness regarding the need for global health access to countries that lack resources to provide health care to the standards of high-income countries. Our fundamental mission statement is to help deliver care to Guatemalan people and minimize disparities in surgical care between low-income and high-income countries. The specific mission is to maximize and strengthen the resources already available at specific sites in Northern Guatemala such that local physicians can provide care to the Guatemalan people with competence and compassion.
