Pérez Zeledón

Pérez Zeledón, ubicado en la región sur de Costa Rica, es un destino reconocido por su impresionante entorno natural y su ambiente auténtico. Rodeado de montañas, ríos y vegetación tropical, es hogar del Parque Nacional Chirripó, una de las zonas más altas de Centroamérica y un referente del turismo de aventura.

San Isidro del General, su ciudad principal, ofrece infraestructura, servicios, hoteles y restaurantes, además de fácil acceso por carretera desde San José. La zona combina tradición cafetalera, cultura local y hospitalidad costarricense.

Además, Pérez Zeledón se encuentra estratégicamente ubicado cerca de grandes cataratas y a poca distancia de las playas del Pacífico Sur, como Dominical y Uvita. La combinación de montaña, selva y mar convierte a este destino en el escenario ideal para vivir la experiencia GFNY Costa Rica.

La Ruta

GFNY Pérez Zeledón ofrece una ruta rápida: 120 kilómetros rodeados de naturaleza, en un recorrido creativo que ofrece de todo un poco, incluyendo algunos repechos que representarán lindos retos en carretera.

La carrera comienza en el Hotel del Sur, con un pequeño recorrido controlado hacia el centro de la ciudad. Al salir de la zona urbana, en los primeros kilómetros encontrarás tramos planos súper rápidos para que todos aceleren a todo gas; pero cuidado, que no te sorprenda algún repecho inesperado. Luego se pasará por algunas zonas urbanas de la ciudad hasta alcanzar nuevamente la carretera principal y retomar el ritmo a toda velocidad.

El momento decisivo comenzará justo al finalizar los trayectos planos, cuando a la altura de Pacuar se enfrentará el primero de varios repechos sostenidos que pondrán a prueba tu perseverancia y constancia. En el kilómetro 70 se toma la desviación hacia Santa Teresa de Cajón, pasando de 617 msnm a 965 msnm en unos 8 kilómetros de ascenso sostenido. Camino a la cima, disfrutarás de vistas bonitas del Parque Nacional Chirripó y de toda su cadena montañosa; asimismo, tendrás la oportunidad de interactuar con la naturaleza y el hermoso paisaje verde.

Después de la combinación de ascensos, repechos y montaña, entrarás en un tramo de falso plano, pasando por la comunidad de Rivas, para luego encaminarte hacia los últimos kilómetros de emoción y descenso hasta alcanzar nuevamente la meta en el Hotel del Sur.

LA RUTA LARGA ES UNA COMPETICIÓN: Solo los finalistas del recorrido largo son elegibles para la clasificación por categorías, así como para la clasificación general y los premios del podio. Si deseas competir y aparecer en la clasificación de tu categoría, debes completar la ruta larga.

Los mejores atletas de cada grupo de edad obtienen un lugar en el Qualifier Corral en cada GFNY: el top 20% en los Campeonatos Continentales, el top 15% en los Campeonatos Nacionales y el top 10% en todos los demás GFNY.

 

LA RUTA MEDIA NO ES UNA COMPETICIÓN: Los corredores de la ruta media recibirán su tiempo de inicio a fin, pero no se clasificarán según el tiempo de llegada. Todos los tiempos de llegada se enumerarán en orden alfabético.

Beneficios incluidos como parte de GFNY Pérez Zeledón

EL JERSEY: Todos los corredores reciben un jersey oficial de GFNY Pérez Zeledón y su uso es obligatorio durante la carrera.

TIEMPO DE CHIP: GFNY Pérez Zeledón es una carrera cronometrada. Cada atleta tiene su propio chip de cronometraje, que comienza justo después de cruzar la línea de inicio y se detiene cuando cruza la línea de meta. Los resultados de cronometraje estarán disponibles en gfny.cc/results.

MEDALLA DE FINALISTA: Cada finalista de GFNY Pérez Zeledón recibe una medalla, sin importar la distancia que hayan completado. Todos los finalistas también obtienen un "Finish" hacia su medalla 3x2026 GFNY o la medalla 10x. Visita gfny.com/medals para obtener más información sobre las medallas multi-finisher de GFNY.
