Run Costa Rica

Welcome to Paradise. Your guide will be waiting outside the arrivals terminal with a sign with your names on it. After leaving the airport, you begin the journey to the town of La Fortuna at the base of the Arenal Volcano. Resting on the hills and slopes of the valley and tucked within the lush landscape you will find your hotel, The Springs Resort & Spa (a favorite among celebrities). Facing the magnificent Arenal Volcano, this luxury hotel features 17 spring-fed thermal pools and a wildlife sanctuary. River tubing, kayaking, horseback riding, are all accessible on-site as well. Enjoy the view of the Arenal Volcano from your private balcony while lying in a comfy hammock. Sip tropical cocktails while relaxing by one of natural hot-spring-fed lagoons and pools.

The four elements of nature are present in this unique Arenal Volcano luxury hotel and resort, featuring the heat of the volcano, the flowing waters of the hot springs, the pure air of the rainforest, and the fertile earth of the Fortuna de San Carlos Region.

Dinner included.

What a place to take your first run in Costa Rica! This morning, we will head to the secondary roads surrounding Arenal Volcano. Today’s run will see you cover 6K or 12K on flat 4×4 roads with almost zero elevation gain. You will earn spectacular views of the world-famous Arenal Volcano and surrounding countryside throughout the course.

Overnight The Springs. Breakfast included.

Sky Trek, Sky Walk, Sky Tram – the complete combo! Discover a birds-eye view of the volcano, lake, and rainforest as you travel up in open-air cable cars to explore the suspended bridges before speeding back down to earth along almost two miles of zip lines.

Start with an informative and interesting walk along jungle trails and hanging bridges, with a naturalist guide, and learn all about the flora, fauna, the history and culture of the area.

Afterward, ride the open gondola up through the dense rainforest to the unique volcano observation deck. From there you will have great photography opportunities with treetop views of the tropical rainforest. See the jungle from a different perspective and maybe see some different creatures that inhabit it.

Return to the ground below by ziplining a series of cables across the tree canopies and canyons. This is an exhilarating fun way to see the rainforest and the beauty of the area. Modified versions are available.

Overnight The Springs. Breakfast included.

Another spectacular run/walk today, and this time you will have Lake Arenal as your vista as you head out on your jog.

The course runs along secondary roads with almost zero elevation gain. Complimenting the view of Lake Arenal you will also be running alongside the primary rainforest, a true Costa Rican experience. Today’s event is 5k and 10k.

Overnight The Springs. Breakfast included.

It is time to head to the beach for some sun, surf, and sea. You will be driven along the scenic route through the hills heading to sea level. As you get closer to the coast, feel the temperature rise, and get ready for some fun days at the beach. Check into our hotel, Si Como No Resort and Wildlife Refuge, relax, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Breakfast included.

Today we run/walk the beach area in Manuel Antonio. The course starts on a single track with incredible views of the ocean as you go. It is a loop course with distance options of 5.4K or 11K with 360/720 ft elevation gain.

Overnight Si Como No Resort. Breakfast included.

Today we visit the Manuel Antonio National Park! It is the best place for wildlife viewing and you are almost guaranteed to see sloths, iguanas, several species of monkeys, as well as other exotic creatures.

Your naturalist guide will lead you along the well-kept trails to hidden beaches all the while pointing out interesting things along the way. Enjoy a dip in the sea and sink your toes into the soft sand of the beautiful Pacific beaches before returning to your hotel later in the afternoon to relax by the pool, have a couple of sunset cocktails, or explore a little of Manuel Antonio.

Tonight your vacation finishes with an awards dinner. Overnight Si Como No.

Breakfast and Awards Dinner included.

Enjoy your last morning in the tropical sun before taking your private transfer to San Jose in time to join your international flight home.

Or, consider extending your trip and enjoy Costa Rica a little longer. We will have options to extend your stay in either The Springs or the Si Como No Hotels or consider a 5-day add-on adventure to a remote eco-lodge for world-famous rafting, hiking, and ziplines.
