MERIDA — Following a route from Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, to the Mayakoba complex in Quintana Roo, the 2017 Mayan Rally will be the fourth edition of this competition.

Benjamín de la Peña, its founding president, said that this event to be held from May 19 to 28 is considered the only rolling museum in the world, with 110 collection cars with great historical value. The cars will travel more than a thousand kilometers on the roads of the Yucatan Peninsula, with the aim of enhancing the cult of historic motoring, in a framework of cordiality and hospitality.

In addition, social responsibility actions will be promoted, with the donation of wheelchairs and guidance on health issues for the benefit of the families of Mayan communities of Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo, he said.

He explained that with the support of the Telmex Foundation, and the contribution of competitors, who will donate one peso for each kilometer traveled, and sponsors, medical care will be provided to children with diabetes type 1, and wheelchairs will be given to children, youth and adults who require them. Women will also be informed about the pros and cons of Hysterectomy, by the United Foundation for Chivis, and the Carlos Slim Foundation will give talks about the importance of organ donation, he remarked.
