Panama is special. And for foreigners who live here, enjoying the mornings -especially sunrises- to exercise is a fascinating experience.
For this reason, we present five sporting events where the foreign visitor can enjoy the country’s unique conditions.
1.- Ocean to Ocean
Significant cycling figures have been a part of this event. Why is it so unique? Simply because it has its starting point on the beaches of the Panamanian Caribbean (Atlantic) and its arrival facing the Pacific Ocean, crossing the three bridges over the Panama Canal.
With three categories, this is one of those experiences for cycling lovers that you must live once in your life.
2.- Fishing Tournament Navegante TV
More than 70 boats from various countries in the region, such as the USA, Costa Rica, and Colombia, come together in this fishing tournament that takes advantage of Panama’s extraordinary conditions for practicing this sport.
It has paradisiacal regions such as the Gulf of Montijo, Coiba National Park, Pedasí-Tonosí, and the Gulf of Chiriquí, among others, for the competition. Additionally, it has access to two oceans, with over 3,000km of coastline available.
3.-IronMan 70.3
One of the most incredible aspects of this race is that it takes place in the Causeway, the Pacific entry to the Panama Canal. The race takes advantage of the city’s entire infrastructure generating impressive views (under challenging conditions for all competitors).
4.- Circuit City
Although urban and rural running circuits may be common worldwide, the combination of venues for these events is extraordinary, as it perfectly uses urban infrastructure and natural landscapes to organize a calendar of events that frequently sell out.
5.- Expat League
What began as an initiative to bring together foreign residents in the country is rapidly transforming into a renowned event that brings together many people who play golf and share the country’s best local culture.
This event played at the Buenaventura Golf Club, brings together more than 120 players on the seven dates.
