David Arreguín and co-host Nadia Flores sit down with Valeria Rivera Corona, co-founder of the Binational Race, to explore how an ambitious idea became a one-of-a-kind running experience connecting San Diego and Tijuana.

Valeria shares the story behind the race, from navigating permits and coordinating agencies on both sides of the border to creating an event that now attracts thousands of runners. The conversation also explores Valeria’s entrepreneurial journey, the growing running community, and how the race has become much more than an athletic event—it is a celebration of the people, culture, and shared identity that make the San Diego-Tijuana region unique.

With routes that literally cross the international border and a finish-line celebration in Playas de Tijuana, the Binational Race represents a simple but powerful idea: focus less on what separates communities and more on what brings them together.
