In the past I have written about the great outdoor activities found in the Central Pacific region of Costa Rica.

Well last weekend we saw some of Costa Rica’s most dedicated and fit athletes show off their stuff at a triathlon sponsored by the Los Suenos Marriott in Herradura.

Triathlons are one of the most challenging races around, pushing athletes to compete in swimming, running, and bicycling. What made this triathlon a little different though was that it was eco-friendly.

Before the event all athletes will had the opportunity to plant a tree, provided by the Los Sueños Marriott.

These new trees will help ensure that future generations can enjoy the splendor of the natural environment for years to come.

Athletes also released baby sea turtles back into the wild. Not only will these efforts go a long way in preserving the natural environment, but these green initiatives will help to stay true to Costa Rica’s beauty.

The triathlon course featured a swimming race from the Herradura Beach which is located in front of the Los Suenos resort, with a transition in the blue zone, set up at the resort.

The triathletes then proceeded to the biking portion of the event, and finished with a sprints to the beaches of Jaco and Hermosa. Children and adults of all ages enjoyed the weekend long event.

If you think living in the Central Pacific region could be for you then be sure to contact me for details about suitable properties in this region.
