The 14th annual Racing for Boobs event took place Saturday near Kilometer 28 of the Laguna Salada desert, bringing together drivers, riders, and supporters for a day focused on competition, community, and fundraising for breast cancer programs.
The event was organized by the Mujeres que Viven Foundation in collaboration with Corredores del Desierto (CODE), with the first motorcycle category starting at 7 a.m., followed by additional categories for automobiles and off-road vehicles. Participants navigated a 14-mile motorcycle course and a 20-mile automobile track through the desert terrain, according to organizers.
Organizers said the event is designed not only as a sporting challenge but also as a platform to raise awareness and support for women living with breast cancer. Funds collected during the race are directed toward providing critical services, including access to prostheses, wigs, specialized bras, breast reconstruction procedures, and mammograms.
The foundation also provides turbans, compression sleeves, and other medical supplies, as well as psychological counseling and assistance with chemotherapy treatments for women in need. Organizers said these programs are intended to provide comprehensive support to women facing both the physical and emotional challenges of a breast cancer diagnosis.
Representatives from the foundation expressed appreciation to participants, sponsors, CODE members, local authorities, attendees, and members of the media. Organizers said the successful completion of the 14th edition demonstrates ongoing community engagement and support for the cause.
The event also drew spectators and volunteers from across the region, who said they were motivated by the combination of sport and social impact. Several local teams and individual competitors took part, contributing to what organizers described as a “day of excitement, solidarity and awareness” in the desert setting.
With the 2026 edition concluded, the foundation said planning for next year’s event will begin soon, with continued efforts to expand participation and the reach of programs supporting women affected by breast cancer.
