Powering the Lima Half Marathon

Behind Lima’s race-day broadcast

How Mediapro delivered a live marathon broadcast without compromise.
Introduction

Mediapro Peru delivers the Lima Half Marathon using Ross Video technology designed for live production across Latin America’s complex geography. 

Delivering a live broadcast for a large-scale city race like the Lima Half Marathon requires technology that production teams can rely on without hesitation. For Mediapro, producing live events across Latin America, means operating in vast, varied, and highly complex environments. 

 

With productions often spanning long distances, challenging terrain, and dense urban settings, portability, efficiency, and reliability are essential. For Mediapro Peru, Ross Video technology underpins every live broadcast — delivering the stability and reliability required in the most demanding environments. 

Ross is part of the backbone of our work. We can trust and rely on them to provide solutions, support, stability, and reliability in our operations, and they also have the experience and knowledge to help us achieve our goals.

The challenge

Producing the Lima Half Marathon highlighted the complexities of delivering a large-scale regional live outdoor broadcast.  Spanning multiple locations across the city, the race required precise timing, seamless coordination, and uninterrupted operation— with no margin for error on race day. 

Mediapro needed a live production workflow that could be configured quickly, operated intuitively under pressure, and remain stable throughout the entire broadcast. Any added technical complexity or instability risked slowing down the production team during critical moments of live coverage.  

One of the reasons we chose Ross is how simple the solutions are to configure, how user-friendly the environment is, how robust it is, and how well it works for live events.

The impact

Ross Video technology gave Mediapro the confidence it needed on race day. Built on decades of proven performance, Ross solutions supported a smooth, reliable broadcast from start to finish. 

Working alongside Ross Video Business Partner Divicam, Mediapro successfully delivered the Lima Half Marathon using a production workflow built on trust, collaboration, and operational stability.  

The result was a dynamic live broadcast that captured the energy of the event while reinforcing the value of long-term technology partnerships in high-pressure live environments. 

I’ve been working with Ross switchers for over 20 years, mainly because of the trust the company has always given us.
