Challenging race in spectacular surroundings.
Top organization!!
Mandatory appointment on the calendar.

The epic journey from Caribbean coast to Pacific is something very unique and a challenge that worth exploring.
It’s quite varied because you can enjoy easy paths and roads and more technical jungle sections as well, so it’s never boring.
The main challenge here is represented by the humidity and warmth, so I highly recommend getting there at least a week before in order to give the body the time to adapt.

I think everything in this race has been very well conceived, particularly I appreciated a lot the previous acclimatisation days because other than allowing our bodies to gradually adapt to altitude, they also provided the opportunity to have a look at the surrounding and helped to figure out what was ahead.
About the race itself, of course I loved the majestic nature and the mountains that were actually unique.
The paths were not extremely technical although the multiple river crossing especially during the night can be demanding. Aid stations were well equipped because they provided a satisfying choice of carbs and proteins as well and this is important in ultra races and especially for a 100 mile race.
I completely recommend this experience because it is the only 100 miles at a such high altitude and there is nothing else in the world that can be comparable.
