The figures are booking totals, not prices per person. One runner pays the base for the distance, and each extra runner, up to four, adds half of that base, rounded up to the nearest $5. Five or more, we quote the group.

There is no minimum. One runner is a booking. Eighteen kilometres is our usual route. Longer distances, up to 32 km, are planned with you, and we confirm the route, the date and the start time before you commit.

What the run is like

A private route out to El Árbol del Tule and back, flat the whole way on a tree-lined cycling path with regular police patrols. You turn around wherever the distance you agreed puts you.

It is hosted by Oaxacan athletes rather than a tour company, and the surface is cement and asphalt rather than trail. Bring road shoes.
