MONTERREY, NL.– The sun’s rays were just beginning to bathe the emblematic Fundidora Park when the employees of Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) of Mexico gathered to participate in a race that combined sport, camaraderie and team spirit , reflecting the company’s commitment to the health and well-being of its workers.
More than a decade and a half of sporting tradition was reflected in the sixteenth edition of the CPKC Mexico race , where employees and their families participated in a day of physical activity and camaraderie.
As part of the event, medals and awards were presented , in addition to prizes for the top three places in the different categories, including the children’s participants.
Fundidora Park offered runners a route surrounded by large green areas , wooded paths and some of the most representative spaces of the old industrial zone that today constitutes one of the main urban lungs of Monterrey.
The symbiosis of Fundidora Park with the railway has its roots in the very development that this industrial space reached, where there was a wide internal network to move coal, iron ore and molten steel between the workshops and furnaces.
Now, in those spaces, the race participants were able to enjoy attractive views of the park, which were combined with a festive atmosphere driven by music and batucada along the route.
The competition featured runners of varying ages and experience levels , from those seeking to improve their personal bests to those participating in a sporting event for the first time. Children also had their own dedicated space, participating in categories designed to promote physical activity and healthy social interaction from an early age.
At the end, the awards ceremony was held, in which the top three places in each category were recognized for their performance. The winners received trophies and certificates, while all participants received commemorative medals as a memento of the event.
With these types of initiatives, CPKC de México reaffirmed its commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles , strengthening the bonds between its employees and creating spaces for coexistence that transcend the workplace, consolidating a tradition that year after year brings together the railway family around sports and recreation.
Seniority, recognition of career
As part of the festivities, CPKC of Mexico took the opportunity to recognize the career of its employees at its Seniority 2026 event, during which awards were given to staff who completed five, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of service .
From the perspective of Oscar Del Cueto, president of CPKC Mexico, the anniversary celebrations reflect learning, challenges overcome, shared achievements, and relationships that strengthen the company culture . Furthermore, the examples set by the honorees inspire the new generations joining this railway family.
