Wherever I travel, I love to immerse myself in a new place on foot. It is the best way to notice the detail, experience the sights, smells and sounds first hand, and get a real sense of everyday life there.So when I heard about a run-cation on Rapa Nui – also known as Easter Island – I knew this was just the trip for me.Organised by event company Rat Race, it is a five-day tour of the small, remote Pacific island famous for its monolithic stone humanoid monuments that brings together landscape, heritage and spiritual well-being.On the fourth day, there is a 50km (31-mile) run/hike, which is structured like a race but is not officially timed.The package includes accommodation, meals and all excursions, and it is possible to extend your stay on either side of the event dates.Rat Race Easter Island UltramarathonA global pack gathers on a remote islandBuilt with inclusivity at its heart, the itinerary is designed to accommodate runners, joggers and hikers alike.
