The Colegio de Contadores Públicos de Baja California (CCPBC), the state’s professional accountants’ association, will host the 30th edition of its annual 5K charity race in Tijuana. The event marks three decades of the organization pairing its celebration of Accountants’ Day with a community fundraiser.
CCPBC president Juan Carlos Loaiza Hernández confirmed that proceeds from this year’s race will go to Asilo Juan Pablo II, a Tijuana care home that serves elderly residents. The 5K is open to runners and walkers of all levels and is designed as a family-friendly event.
Three Decades of a Tijuana Running Tradition
The annual race began 30 years ago as a small initiative tied to Mexico’s Día del Contador (Accountants’ Day), which is celebrated on May 25. Over the decades, it has grown into one of Tijuana’s longer-running charity sporting events. The CCPBC represents certified public accountants across Baja California and regularly organizes professional development and community outreach activities.
For the 2026 edition, the association chose Asilo Juan Pablo II as its beneficiary. The care home provides housing and assistance to elderly Tijuana residents who lack family support or financial resources. Charitable 5K events like this one are a common fundraising tool for nonprofits across Mexico, and the CCPBC race has rotated its support among local causes over the years.
A Family-Friendly Event for the Community
The 5K course is designed to welcome participants of all fitness levels, from competitive runners to families with children. Organizers promote the event as a chance to get active while contributing to a local cause. Registration details and the exact race date have not yet been publicly confirmed by the CCPBC, so interested participants should watch the association’s official channels for updates.
Tijuana hosts dozens of organized runs each year, ranging from large international events to neighborhood charity races. The CCPBC’s 30th edition stands out for its longevity and consistent charitable mission.
