Pack this

- Two 500ml soft flasks + electrolyte tabs for humid heat

What you should know
- This is a multi-stage race with huge climbing: +9300m over 200km or +5800m over 117km, so pace for the whole week.
- Check the organiser's mandatory gear list before you travel; expect a whistle, a reusable cup and a survival blanket.
- Afternoon tropical storms can turn trails into slick mud and swell rivers, so take care on descents and crossings.
- Heat and high humidity raise the risk of dehydration, so drink and take salt regularly, even when it's cloudy.
- Bib pickup and race briefing take place at the Hotel Radisson San José HQ. Confirm times and luggage transfer rules.
