S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The 5th<\/sup> Coffee Race and Trek will take place in virtual fashion this year due to the pandemic. In order to enter the event traditionally held at Fazenda Santa Elisa, a farm in Campinas, S\u00e3o Paulo, you simply need to register on the website and share information from a race previously agreed upon with the organizers. Since participants will race under different weather and terrains, there will be no finishing order, and all racers will get a participation medal. A supporter of the event, the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC) will be honored on occasion of its 68th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce has been our supporter since 1981, so it is really important to have it for the 5th<\/sup> Coffee Race and Trek – Special Virtual Edition. Professor Rubens Hannun was generous enough to make a video, and it is has been really encouraging to us,\u201d the race\u2019s creator and Jerusalem Institute in Brazil superintendent Ali El-Khatib told ANBA regarding a video created by the ABCC\u2019s president especially for the race organizers. Pictured above are El-Khatib and the race\u2019s godmother Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Geremias<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnicamp (the State University of Campinas), by way of its School of Physical Education, the Campinas Institute of Agronomy, our track and field teams and other supporters have given us a great jolt of energy going into this challenge,\u201d says El-Khatib, who\u2019s also a coffee connoisseur. \u201cThe energy from this experience is spreading to our supporters. Mr. Marcos Machado, the director-general of the Campinas Institute of Agronomy, has suggested that not only should the sixth edition of the race return to the farm, but that we also have a kids\u2019 coffee race as well as the virtual one. Already we are seeing good results,\u201d said El-Khatib.<\/p>\n

To enter the virtual race, athletes must record the date, duration and length of a race of their choosing using an app or a watch. They will be required to upload a screenshot of their device with good resolution by 11 pm on November 12. Registration costs from BRL 69 to BRL 79 and include a kit with a T-shirt, the medal, and gifts from the race\u2019s sponsors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fifth race will enable a broader range of participants to join. By 2021, when the race will take place at Fazenda Santa Elisa again, that\u2019s when we will reunite will all our friends, supporters, their families and the media. It will be a great celebration,\u201d says El-Khatib. The 64-year-old Olympic athlete and heptathlon champion Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Geremias, who was born at Fazenda Santa Elisa, will be the event\u2019s godmother. \u201cI am moved by Ali\u2019s invitation to be the race\u2019s godmother,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
