Running 300km along the Pekoe Trail in Sri Lanka - a long distance hiking trail passing through local villages, tea plantations, temples, cloud forests & leopard jungles.
The trip is a prototype run tour with local guides helping to carefully curate, specific for runners. It will be more exploration and adventure with freedom/input than a completely guided tour. This will be a first!
After the run, there’s an open invitation to ride with us to the southwest coast for complete regeneration by the Indian Ocean for some days of surfing, yoga and recovery.
