Many athletes, including wheelchair-runners from all over the country, patiently wait for this event. The Sport Beach Marathon takes place every September to go hand to hand against the most qualified and professional international and national runners, and with the expectation of meeting their physical goals and raising their bars higher.
DECEMBER 2019 ~ On Christmas and New Year’s weeks, Tamarindo is already full of nationals and tourists that are visiting the area to celebrate the Holidays.

Definitely a time to enjoy with your loved ones.
