Adventure Racing in Costa Rica is alive and kicking!
In March this year, Team Bones became the first non-Tico (Costa Rican)
team to win the Coast to Coast Challenge. The Tico teams want the
title back and have begun their training for next year's race,
scheduled for April 2008.
Racing in Costa Rica is challenging for even the most experienced of
racers and so why not use one of our other races as a training platform?
Coast to Coast Adventures organizes a variety of Races during the year
aside from our Coast to Coast Challenge. They are in different places
around the country and are shorter than the Challenge.
Come and join us for one of our weekend races and perhaps take a few
extra days to acclimatize with one of our International Packages. The
beautiful Pacuare Valley plays host to The Pacuare Adventure Race on
4th and 5th of August. It has all the elements of a tough Race but
with PRO and SPORT categories, it caters for racers with a variety of
experience. Race registration is included in the packages. For more
information on this Race and the packages available for international
racers, click on the link:

A little later in the year, and a great way to escape from the winter
weather in the northern hemisphere, is the 24 Hours of Costa Rica
which is a unique opportunity to race in the shadow of the majestic
Arenal Volcano. Once again the field is broad to accommodate PRO and
SPORT category racers and we offer packages for international racers
to spend a little more time in Costa Rica to prepare beforehand and
rest after the race. Race registration is included in the packages.

If your team is limited on time, then just join us for the race itself.
If you are unsure of which category your team should enter or if you
just want to chat with someone about any of our races, Pablo Brenes is
the man! pablo@...
We look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you here in Costa
Rica at one of these races. If you are saving yourselves for The
Coast to Coast Challenge 2008, please let us know as soon as you can
as route planning will start soon and from then we will keep
interested teams updated.
Regards,
Adventure Racing Costa Rica
