2026 Solidarity American Relay in Mar del Plata
Mar del Plata is getting ready for another one of its solidarity days. Hundreds of swimmers and musicians from outstanding institutions will gather in the same space to help collect food for distribution.
This Saturday, September 19th, a very special day will take place in the city of Mar del Plata: the Solidarity American Relay.
In this edition, more than 900 swimmers will gather to compete throughout the day in the different categories.
How can you attend the Solidarity American Relay?
Spots for competitors are already full: each participant secured their place by donating a non-perishable food item.
However, it is an event open to the public. Those who wish to watch the competition can gain access by donating a non-perishable food item.
What activities will there be during the day?
In addition to the races, the day includes a cultural proposal: on this occasion there will be a musical duel between the Atlantic Naval Area Music Band and the Military Band of the Headquarters of the Army’s 601 School Anti-Aircraft Artillery Group.
Where do the collected donations go?
All the non-perishable food items collected during the event are distributed among various institutions in the city that work daily with children and families in Mar del Plata.
About the Solidarity American Relay
The Solidarity American Relay is considered a sporting, social, and cultural initiative that, in addition to bringing together a large number of swimmers, seeks to generate a concrete commitment to the Mar del Plata community through food donations. The event once again positions itself as a gathering that goes beyond the strictly sporting aspect, turning the participation of swimmers and spectators into an act of support for the community, and consolidates itself edition after edition as a day open to the general public that combines sport, music, and solidarity.
