Cuban Trail Marathon
Sun 11th Jan 2009
Introduction
Running from the remote Granma Provice coastline into the Sierra Maestra you'll be tracing the footsteps of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and the other guerrilla fighters who hacked their way through the forests of the region for two years criss crossing the route of our modern day challenge - The Trail Marathon.
They couldn't use the clear trails we will be using in fear of capture but the Cuban Trail Marathon will give you a feel for the difficult terrain they traversed.
You will run from the coast at Marea del Portillo in the challenging foothills of the Sierra Maestra - going through beautiful tropical mountain scenery with the familiar Royal Palms, lush plantations and with spectacular views of the Caribbean glistening temptingly below.
If you think you have it in you to be a guerrilla Marathon runner, this is the event for you.
We are working closely with the local Cuban Tour Operator Cubanacan and with local guides and medical personel to bring local involvement and a welcome that is uniquely Cuban.
