Your Adventure Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival to mexico city - 10km night beer run

A couple of days before the trip, each participant will be given instructions on how to get to the accommodation facility located in the Condesa area. From here, we will start our epic Night Beer Run route at a friendly pace bar hopping through 4 of the best neighborhoods in Mexico City and from there we will run straight to our Welcome Dinner hub. This route is perfect for acclimatizing to the altitude of Mexico City.

Day 2: Visit through the Xochimilco Floating Gardens - 12 km

We rise early for our day trip to Xochimilco “where the flowers grow”, here we will take a trajinera boat ride that will lead us through the lake canals to the chinampas: traditional farming lake beds, from here we will enjoy a unique yoga and meditation session, overlooking the lake, wetlands river and farming ranges. After this, we will enjoy a delicious farm to table brunch offered by our local hosts.

In the evening we will enjoy a relaxing run at UNAM’S main campus, known as Ciudad Universitaria, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
