HIGHLIGHTS
It exceeded my expectations for being on a planned and guided trip. It was extremely well organized and I really appreciated the emphasis on local partners and supporting local businesses. I like to travel to experience other cultures, not just be around more Americans and I was really impressed by how the team worked together, how streamlined the runs were and getting an activity in every day along with getting to learn about Costa Rica from local guides. I'm definitely more inclined now to do another trip and recommend it to others.

DAY 2
Visit Irazú Volcano National Park
Prusia Forest
Cartago Province, Costa Rica
Irazú National Park

This volcano isn’t known for eruptions; instead, it’s known for being the highest point in Irazú National Park. Our run will take place in the forest at the volcano's baseIf you need a pick-me-up before the run, we’ll have some fresh fruit at the start line.
After the run, enjoy a picnic lunch and then we travel to another tall volcano in Costa Rica. We’re visiting Volcan Irazú National Park, home to the tallest volcano in the country. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore the town or relax at the hotel. We’ll regroup for dinner before closing out our first full day together.

DAY 3
Outrigger canoe or kayaking, snorkeling
Punta Leona
Punta Arena Province, Costa Rica
Punta Leona Beaches
Today we shift gears and lean into the coastal, beachy part of Costa Rica. Like the previous day, we’ll have breakfast at the hotel, travel to our race location, and have fresh fruit at the start line. Today’s run traverses Punta Leona beach, one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Once you cross the finish line, enjoy some ocean time and cool off in the water.
Lunch follows and then we have a watery adventure! We’re paddling an outrigger canoe in the Pacific Ocean and have the option to snorkel as well. This is a great time to see all sorts of tropical fish and sea creatures!
Once again, we’ll enjoy a group dinner back in San José.

Laguna Hule
Rise and shine! Our last day takes us to Laguna Hule for a morning run. The name of this inland lake translates to “Lake of Rubber” because of the abundant rubber trees that surround it. The lake formed from an old volcanic crater that eventually filled with water.
Round out the trip with a final adventure in the rainforest! We’re visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park, known for five stunning tropical waterfalls and flourishing wildlife. The keystone waterfall, La Paz Waterfall, is considered the most picturesque waterfall in all of Costa Rica. The park also has incredible butterfly and hummingbird gardens. If time permits, definitely check out these gardens!
Finally, we close out the evening with a farewell dinner, great stories, and plenty of laughter!
