Sinaloa's 'Orange Ride' unites 1,300 cyclists against gender-based violence

Governor Rubén Rocha Moya launched the 'Orange Ride' as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence in Sinaloa. The event brought together over 1,300 cyclists to raise awareness and promote healthy coexistence through sport. The ride was organised by the Secretariats of Women, Welfare, and Sustainable Development. Ana Francis Chiquete, Secretary of Women, and Omar López Campos, Secretary of Welfare and Sustainable Development, both attended alongside hundreds of cyclists from local groups.

Participants followed a route stretching from Culiacán to Imala and Sanalona. Emergency services, including the Red Cross and Civil Protection, provided support throughout the event. At the finish, a raffle took place with prizes such as bicycles, safety kits, and tickets for the Mazatlán Cyclotour 2025. The initiative aimed to encourage citizen involvement while tackling gender violence through collective action.

The Orange Ride successfully combined sport with activism, drawing over 1,300 participants. With backing from emergency services and local authorities, the event reinforced community engagement in the fight against gender-based violence. Prizes and a well-attended route marked its conclusion.
