Bayahibe 10K draws more than 600 runners in La Romana
The eleventh edition of the Bayahibe 10K brought together more than 600 runners in La Romana, as reported by Acento. The race is already a fixture in the eastern calendar, and it highlights something often buried under sun and sand: a destination can also sell itself through running.
The pack took on a course mixing asphalt and coastal scenery, the kind of route that appeals both to local runners and to visitors who turn it into a weekend stay. That is where the business sits. Every bib is a booked room, a breakfast, a dinner and an excursion invoiced outside peak season.
La Romana has spent years betting on sport as a lever. Marathons, triathlons, golf tournaments. The Bayahibe 10K is the friendliest door for the everyday runner, and that base is what keeps the event alive year after year. Eleven editions do not happen by accident. The read is straightforward: well-run sports events are a real way to stretch the season and spread tourism spending across the province.
