Race Description
LA TRANSTICA is a free pace Trail race, with a prologue and 5 stages with points of supply, assistance and bivouac for a total distance from 120 (Adventure) to 200 kms (Extreme).
LA TRANSTICA is first of all a human and sports adventure.
The main objective of the X trail race LA TRANSTICA in Costa Rica is to discover the country and its way of life and to share this experience with the locals through a sporting competition with humanitarian goals.
We propose to share an adventure where the surpassing of ourselves but also the aid and the solidarity will be the soul of this challenge, in the middle of a particularly exceptional natural frame, COSTA RICA. Between two oceans, the race defines itself by a unique crossing of a natural amazing paradise in the discovery of a new culture and way of life, “Pura Vida”.
