GUATEMALA JUST RUN – 15K

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 start at some point along Avenida de la Reforma or Avenida de las Américas, depending on where you are staying. We always run along the bike path, a space for people exercising or using bicycles or on their own two feet to reach their usual destinations. We can feel secure knowing we are on a quiet route; however, we must be careful to stop at intersections and check that the traffic light allows us to cross.

Both Avenida de las Américas and Avenida Reforma are major boulevards in the capital city; here, one can find hotels, galleries, offices, government buildings, beauty salons, spas, and shopping centers. Avenida de las Américas is in Zones 13 and 14, while Avenida Reforma runs through Zones 9 and 10. Situated between these avenues is the famous Obelisk, a landmark for many of the city’s political and sporting events.

Our tour will conclude in the city’s historic district also known as El Centro Histórico, which begins at the “Civic Center.” This area houses the headquarters of both local and national government bodies and features a tower inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. We will run along pedestrian-only streets, free of cars, to make the tour more enjoyable.

After the tour, you should’ve seen a small part of the city, but one of the most beautiful and pleasant areas for running.
