For six days, you live inside Guatemala, not just pass through it. You spend the week with our partners, SERES, as they train young people to lead on climate, food, and community projects in their own villages. You work alongside the team, eat together, hear what they’re building. By race morning, the names on your fundraising page are people you’ve shared coffee with. People standing on the start line beside you. The week closes on Pacaya, one of Guatemala’s active volcanoes. The race crosses lava fields, climbs through coffee farms, and tops out on a ridge by the crater. This is the model we’ve held for over a decade: small groups, local partners who lead the work, a trail race at the end of the week, and an Impact Ledger published after. Most people book Guatemala for the race. They tell their friends about the week.
