November 28 to December 3 - Race Days
This year’s route is longer than normal but not necessarily harder. The route will remain secret until the start but we can tell you that there will be equal amounts of time hiking, biking and paddling across Costa Rica. At some point during the race there will also be a couple of ropes sections. Teams will be given a list of UTM coordinates revealing the location of the check points that they will have to reach. Route choice between check points will be a critical part of the race. We expect the top teams to start arriving at the finish sometime during the morning of December 2nd. At the finish, teams will stay in cabins on the coast and have the opportunity to rest up and enjoy the arrival of other teams. |
