Second edition raises funds for Hogar San Agustín
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the second edition of the charity race “Taita Run 5k” brought together about 367 runners in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. The event took place on Amado Benítez Gamarra Avenue, in front of the Hogar de Ancianos San Agustín, in the 23 de Octubre neighborhood.
The race featured several categories, including a 200-meter children’s course, participation with baby strollers, athletes in wheelchairs, a walking segment, and a competitive race of up to 5 km for adult runners. Winners received cash prizes as recognition.
The goal was to raise funds for the maintenance and urgent repairs of the home, which currently shelters 36 seniors under the care of the Benedictine sisters of Divine Providence. The money will be used for painting, block repairs, and other needs of the facility.
Sister Selma Da Costa, the person in charge of the Hogar, thanked the participants, the public, and the volunteers, emphasizing the importance of solidarity to sustain the cause.
