Among the beneficiaries are various entities such as the Red Cross, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the National Health Institute.

According to the organizers, the donation of miles is an opportunity for all runners, with which they can contribute from 1 mile “up to the maximum limit of the miles obtained for their registration”, according to the official site of the event.

Those interested in additional donations should follow the conventional process through LifeMiles accounts. These miles will be audited annually so that donors can be sure that they will be allocated correctly, according to Avianca.
