All deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Unexpected events do occur, so please consider purchasing travel insurance. It is your responsibility to read and understand our cancellation policies. Exceptions cannot be made for any reason, including weather, injury/illness, or personal emergencies. No refunds or credits for failure to attend or failure to complete the retreat, or for arriving late or leaving early. We reserve the right to cancel retreats with inadequate participant interest, in which case all money paid will be refunded. Please also consider: all itineraries are subject to change due to weather, excursions and delays.

Transportation to and from the airport as well as transportation to all excursions will be included.

All meals while at the villa will be included. There will be some meals that we will be off-site due to excursions, so you will need to purchase these on your own.

Excursions are included in the price of this retreat. They will include a visit to Cabarete Cave, waterfall canyoning, and ziplining.

While we would love for everyone to participate in all excursions, you can opt out, however, this will not change the price of the retreat.

Wellness sessions will be provided onsite at our villa by our trained and certified facilitators. You will be provided a schedule of wellness sessions upon arrival to the retreat house.

These sessions will be centered around running, including, yoga for runners, cross-training, and injury prevention. They will be a great way for you learn more about running and who you are as a runner, as well as to taper for race day!

Whether this is your first international running event, or you're a globetrotter, we hope you participate in the Maraton Monumental! This race offers a 10k, half marathon, and full marathon option. Choose any of them, or choose to cheer for your retreat-mates! We'll all travel (very early) to the race together, get our run on, and then celebrate!

Registration for the Maraton Monumental is NOT INCLUDED in your retreat. Please visit the website here to register for the race.

Our on-site photographer, Morgan Lee, will not only capture content throughout the retreat, but you will also have the opportunity for a short, individual photoshoot on the beautiful retreat property. Check out her work on instagram (@customsbymo)
