Can you imagine running across a continent, from border to border, ocean to ocean? Come to beautiful Panama and make it a reality! Join El Reto del Indio, the only 100 mile race in the world where you can cross an entire country, an entire continent, and include 2 different oceans! Start with your hand in the Atlantic Ocean, and finish by jumping into the Pacific!
Along the way you will pass through beautiful rain forests, mountains and valleys, villages and some of Panamas most beautiful landscapes. Much of the race will also follow the Indio River, with incredible views of Gatu Lake, which was created in order to form the Panama Canal.
El Reto del Indio is a unique, beautiful, 161kms (100M), 105kms (65M) and 55kms (34M) race that goes through mountains and valleys, runs next to the Indio River for many kilometers, and ends in the Pacific Ocean. In its 161km (100 Miles) distance, the race starts at the beautiful Caribbean side of Panama, on the Atlantic Ocean, crosses the country North to South (you will be actually crossing a continent in its narrowest point) and ends in the Pacific Ocean.
Aid Stations along the way support our runners with not only the most friendly and helpful people you can find but also communities along the race will cheer you as you cross Panama. The race is in the non-rainy season which is windier and less humid. You can jump in rivers along the way. We are a grass-roots, local non-profit dedicated to helping more people enjoy the beautiful trails of Panama. We are also committed to helping people stretch themselves physically and experience the joy and satisfaction of pushing through challenges and accomplishing amazing goals.

This is an amazing ultra race. Ultra race culture in Panama is just beginning. There’s this unique opportunity to go ocean from ocean and see the most amazing jungle scenarios. This year the mud was the king and I DNF at kilometer 76. However I want to try again next year. The organization is excellent, volunteers are ready to do anything for you always with an smile and giving you cheers to keep going. I would recommend this to anyone ready to a real adventure.

This is an amazing race. The 55 km starting in a valley created inside a volcano in a beautiful town called El Valle. You have to get out of the valley and then start descending to the beach. The view is amazing and the heat is the real challenge. It was my first time trying a ultra race and I learned a lot. The volunteers were incredible and the swag was the best I still use the shirt to my long races.
