Riviera Maya Events – The Bravest Race Xplor

Principal photographers: Sol Tamargo and Matt Adcock

The Riviera Maya is home to a wide variety of events every year and Del Sol Photography is always thrilled to be able to capture all the nature, culture and adventure we possibly can. The fine folks at Xperiencias Xcaret have announced a brand new event at Xplor Park, “The Bravest Race“, a steeplechase and obstacle course race that will get your heart pumping. Participants will find themselves running through the thick jungle, crawling through mud, swimming in underground rivers and taking flying leaps into cenotes, all while being pursued by “Fear Hunters” who will seek to scare their tennis shoes off and capture one of the three flags they’ll be carrying. The goal is to finish the 5 km, 20 obstacle race with at least one flag intact and earn a medal of bravery. This is not a race against the clock, there is no “first place”, just the thrill of competing and finishing this grueling course designed for cross fit lovers and those of with a courageous spirit.

The Bravest Race will be run on Sunday, January 26th, 2014 at Xplor Park just south of Playa del Carmen. Registration opens September 15, 2013. Are you brave enough? Del Sol Photography DARES you!
