GUATEMALA JUST RUN – 10K

Our ‘just run’ tours are light on the sightseeing and focus will instead be on a smooth running route with minimal interruptions from traffic lights etc yet still a good and interesting route.

We begin with the first option, which covers parts of three major areas: Avenida Las Américas, Avenida Reforma, and the Historic Center. The route follows the bike path that is pleasant for running; the terrain is largely flat, offering the chance to pick up the pace if you wish. This route features sites of significance to the capital and includes a mix of residential and office buildings.

It continues through part of the historic center to appreciate the city’s history with elements of urban and religious art. Many people work and live here, but the area also attracts numerous daily visitors. Pedestrian streets are found here, making our run more pleasant.

The second option for running a 10K is the route along Vista Hermosa Boulevard. Its main characteristic is an incline ranging from steep to very steep. While we will be running along the bike path in a pleasant, green setting, it will certainly be more challenging than a flat course. This route passes by the city’s luxury residential areas.

With either option, there will be plenty to see, photograph and explore. Guatemala’s capital city presents various contrasts, meaning there is no single way to describe it. You can appreciate its beautiful natural surroundings, delve into its history, and learn how it integrates features of the Spanish colonial era with its Mayan heritage.
