OVERVIEW
Nomatrail's most intense experience!
This is Nomatrail’s most intense experience — a 6-day expedition covering over 150km from the Talamanca highlands to the untouched Pacific coastline.
It’s not just a run. It’s a rite of passage.
You’ll cross cloud forests, jungles, rivers, mangroves and hidden beaches, all while pushing your limits alongside a tight-knit team of ultra trail runners.
