Our 3rd Annual Lapathon!

A project of Lapa Rios Rainforest Ecolodge, this year’s Lapathon is an 18-km run and is limited to 300 participants.  The event will take place on May 1, 2011 in Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. Cost to register is $20, with all funds raised going to benefit the needs of local schools.

Winners (first to finish and most pledges earned) will receive free nights and meals at one of the six Earth-friendly Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality resorts in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Do you want to take a shot at the first place title?  Well then, why not lace up those sneakers and plan a visit to Costa Rica!  But if you're unable to participate in the run, we still invite you to make a pledge for one of our runners - all donations help benefit the local schools in the community.  We even have a special 3K race for the kids!

“This is the third time we’ve held this wildly-successful event,” said Hans Pfister, CEO and principle of Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality. “In 2009, funds raised went towards equipping the region’s only ambulance with supplies and, in 2010, we helped to build a classroom for children with learning disabilities. All our resorts participate in programs like the Lapathon to help our environment, community and people – we like to think we’re doing our bit to make our corner of the Earth just a little better.”
