Adventure Racing in Costa Rica is alive and kicking!

Dear adventure racers,

Grettings from Adventure Racing Costa Rica! We would like you to
present our 2008 agenda, including the 8th edition of our Coast to
Coast Challenge, to be held this coming April.
The 2008 adventure racing season in
Costa Rica is set to go. This is
our 10th season organizing races and we are excited about the events
we have planned. Here is the schedule for 2008:

1. The Coast to Coast Challenge (5 day expedition race – April
20 - 26)
2. The Pacuare Adventure Race (3 day stage race – August 8, 9 &
10)
3. La Soledad Team MTB Race (1 day race – October 4)
4. 24 Hours of
Costa Rica (Expedition race – December 6 & 7)

For each of these events we have designed itineraries for
international teams. You just have to show up at the airport ready
to race and we will take care of the rest.
The first Race will be the 8th Edition of The Coast to Coast
Challenge which will start on the
Caribbean Coast at 10am on April
20th 2008
. Teams will bike, hike, climb and paddle across Costa Rica
through tropical rain and cloud forest, up and over the continental
divide and along country roads passing typical Costa Rican villages.
Teams will have 142 hours (almost 6 days) to complete the 500+ km
route across
Costa Rica. The winning team is expected to finish in
just under 4 days.
The Pacuare Adventure Race and the 24 hours of
Costa Rica being much
shorter races may be more attractive to those teams with a busy
schedule. Both these races offer a tough PRO route and a more
accessible SPORT route for teams that are just starting in the sport
of Adventure Racing.

The La Soledad Team MTB race celebrates its 10th edition this year.
We have put together a fun 9 day adventure trip that includes
whitewater rafting on the
Pacuare River, hiking and soaking in hot
springs
at the Arenal Volcano and relaxing before the big day on the
palm fringed beaches of the
Pacific Coast. The numerous mountain bike
rides incorporated into this trip also enable you to experience
Costa
Rica
up close while preparing for the Race.

The itineraries surrounding the Races are our suggestions to give
teams a chance to see some of this beautiful country. However, we
are always willing to adapt these if there are specific places you
would like to visit or for families with children coming in support
of the team. Coast to Coast Adventures is a full service travel
agency so organizing a trip for family and friends or adding a few
days on the beach after the race are all possibilities.

For more info on these races and the packages that we offer visit our
website www.adventureracingcostarica.com

Adventure On!
