The Bayahibe 10K is back and it's coming in strong. The 11th edition of this race, which blends sport and sun, will take place on September 6 in La Romana and expects to gather more than 600 runners, both domestic and international. That's according to Dominican Today.

To me, this sends a clear message: Dominican sports tourism is not just alive, it's gaining ground. This isn't a massive headline-grabbing event, but it brings 600 people who arrive, stay, eat, spend and, hopefully, come back. All set in a powerhouse destination like Bayahibe.

I like seeing events like this keep growing. We don't need an Olympic medal to attract visitors. With consistency and good organization, these 10 kilometers become a real opportunity for La Romana and for the country brand. The date is set for September, and we'll be there watching that peloton run.
