Running For Ayotzinapa 43 is an international community of amateur athletes based in NYC and founded by Antonio Tizapa, father of Jorge Antonio Tizapa Legideño, one of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College who were forcibly disappeared by local and federal police and military in collusion with organized crime, on September 26, 2014 in the city of Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. We run for truth and justice for the Ayotzinapa 43, for the tens of thousands of disappeared in Mexico, and to promote a dialogue and consciousness concerning human rights violations worldwide.
Running for Ayotzinapa 43 does not accept donations. There are no fees or sales associated with the running club. Singlets and t-shirts are provided free to runners and supporters.
