Don José was running toward the finish line of the 4th Huamantla Color Run, in Tlaxcala, when a staff member blocked his path and ended up knocking him down. The runner suffered a shoulder injury that could prevent him from taking part in the upcoming Mexico City Marathon, a competition he had been preparing for months.
The video sparked outrage on social media and opened a debate about the actions of the event staff. While some are demanding accountability and compensation for the runner, others point out that the full circumstances of the incident still need to be clarified.
