La Salud Mental una Carrera a Fondo

La Salud Mental una Carrera a Fondo is a running race series held in Logroño, La Rioja. While its schedule isn't fixed, results and classifications are published, indicating it's a timed running event, not solely a public awareness walk. The race is connected to Equipo Internacionalista de Salud Mental México-Nicaragua. This group was established in Mexico City in 1981 by individuals who had escaped authoritarian regimes in Nicaragua and Argentina. Under the guidance of psychoanalyst Marie Langer, the group operated in Nicaragua for nearly a decade, providing mental health care and assisting universities in developing mental health programs. This background imbues the race with a distinct purpose: it connects running with the concept that mental health is integral to community life, not separate from it.
