10K Ternium

As part of our drive to promote a healthy lifestyle, we hold a 10K Ternium annual race around our industrial plants. The race has already become a tradition for both the company and the communities living near our plants. In 2018, the 14th edition of the race took place in San Nicolás, Argentina, and the 7th and the 10th edition took place in Colima and Monterrey, Mexico, respectively. First editions of the race have already been held in Santa Cruz, Brazil, and Villa Nueva, Guatemala.

11,500

Runners in 2018. These sports events promote physical exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
Donations

The proceeds of the race are donated to local institutions and Ternium makes a matching contribution.

Ternium’s 10K race is very well organized and it is also highly-emotional because the proceeds are donated to people who need them”.

It is very important that Ternium holds events like its 10K race. Many institutions need the support and are very thankful for it”.
