Coco 10k November 30th!

Costa Rica is a fantastic place to live if you enjoy fitness.  Marathons and triathlons are held on a normal basis because of the great weather we enjoy all year round.  Playas del Coco will host a 10k run on November 30th.  This event is sure to bring athletes from every major city in Costa Rica as well as runners from around the world.  The entrance fee to run is 10,000 colones ($20), and much of the proceeds go directly to local charities in the area.

This will be one of many major fitness events to come to Guanacaste over the next year.  Fitness comes in many different ways in Costa Rica.  Most of the larger events in the region cycling, swimming and running or a combination of all 3.  Though some athletes enter the events for competition, many locals in the area enter as well to be a part of the community.  This creates an atmosphere that is truly enjoyed by all.

So if you're interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or meeting new friends in a community setting, consider making Playas del Coco your future home.  The weather is great and the people are friendly.  What more could you ask for!
