Acropora Eco Trail Run 2026 · Roatán, Honduras · Run alongside the world’s second-largest coral reef
Your $1,740 covers six things most runners have to book separately.
A destination race with a real conservation purpose.
Off the coast of Roatán lies the second-largest barrier reef on the planet — and it is in danger. The Acropora Eco Trail Run, now in its 8th edition and organized by BICA (30+ years of conservation work in the Bay Islands), exists to protect it: every registration funds real coral restoration. You run through the Caribbean jungle at sunrise and cross the finish line in Palmetto Bay, with the reef you are helping to save right in front of you. Participating matters.

Pay in full with your card, earn your points and miles, and split it into installments from your bank app: My Chase Plan, Amex Plan It, Citi Flex Pay.
Some travel rewards cards let you redeem points toward this purchase with tools like Capital One Purchase Eraser or Chase Pay Yourself Back. Whether this charge qualifies as travel — and whether you can earn or redeem points on it — depends on your card issuer's program, so check your terms before booking.
Tell us when you request your itinerary and we'll prepare a personalized land-only quote — hotel, race entry, transfers, and the dolphin encounter, without the flight — so you can book your own award ticket directly with your airline. Our travel team reviews your flight plans before finalizing the land package. Airline availability, taxes, fees, and award-ticket rules remain your responsibility.
Your package already includes the big things: flight, hotel, race, kit, transfers, the dolphin encounter, and assistance. This is the only thing left out:
Your airfare, protected: when you book, we propose your itinerary within 2 business hours by both WhatsApp and email and issue your ticket only after you confirm it — the fare is locked at that moment. If we cannot offer an available flight option from your city, you receive an alternative or the corresponding refund according to our policy — always before issuing. You never pay extra due to flight price increases: we absorb that risk.
It depends on the timing. Before you confirm your itinerary: if we cannot offer an available flight option from your city, an alternative or refund applies according to our policy — we have not issued anything yet. After your ticket is issued: the package is non-refundable due to provider policies (airline, hotel, and organizers have already received payment in your name), but it is transferable to another person within the following 12 months — the airline ticket may have a name-change fee depending on the airline. We recommend purchasing travel insurance with cancellation coverage — we can help you find one with no extra commission.
Yes. Roatán is our only truly all-inclusive package — including the round-trip flight. The $1,740 price covers your airfare to Roatán (RTB), departing July 31 and returning August 3, from Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, or Atlanta. When booking, you choose your city, and within 2 business hours of booking, you receive your itinerary proposal by both WhatsApp and email with airline, schedules, and layovers.
We look for an alternative. And if we cannot offer an available flight option from your selected city, you receive an alternative or the corresponding refund according to our policy. This is how it works: we never issue your ticket without your confirmation. Only when you approve the itinerary do we issue it and lock the fare. Once issued, you receive the airline confirmation code to choose seats and add your TSA PreCheck directly with the carrier — just like with any major U.S. agency.
Whichever you prefer: in full by card; in monthly installments with Affirm — up to 36 months, from $145/month on a 12-month plan with 0% APR for qualified buyers; or in 4 interest-free payments with Klarna of $435 every 2 weeks. If you pay in full with your credit card, you may also earn points or miles depending on your card's rewards program, and you can split the charge into installments from your bank app (My Chase Plan, Amex Plan It, Citi Flex Pay). Some travel rewards cards also let you redeem points toward this charge through tools like Capital One Purchase Eraser or Chase Pay Yourself Back, subject to your issuer's terms. Already have airline miles? Let us know when you request your itinerary and we'll send you a personalized land-only quote so you can book your own award flight directly with your airline. All financing options are subject to credit approval.
Your package includes a scheduled dolphin encounter at Anthony's Key Resort through the Roatán Institute for Marine Sciences. The final time and format are coordinated as part of your Roatán itinerary and remain subject to operator availability.
Yes. Roatán is part of Honduras, so you need a valid passport (with at least 6 months of validity). Most citizens of the United States, Canada, and the European Union do not need a visa to enter Honduras as tourists. We guide you through all entry requirements before travel, at no extra cost.
Yes, absolutely. We can build a “companion” package with flight, shared lodging, the dolphin encounter, and the full island experience without race entry (or with the 2K, which is very accessible). Roatán is an incredible beach destination, so companions have an amazing time. Contact us when booking and we will send you an exact quote.
Yes — the official package hotel is Clarion Suites Roatan at Pineapple Villas (Choice Hotels), in French Harbour, with coordinated transfer to the event. Lodging is subject to operational availability; in extraordinary cases, Visterra Runs will coordinate an equivalent or superior option in Roatán.
Within 2 business hours of booking, you receive your proposed itinerary by both WhatsApp and email. You confirm it, we issue your ticket, and we secure hotel, registration, and dolphin encounter in your name. 21 days before, we coordinate final details. The full step-by-step is in the “From payment to the starting line” section.
Of course. Message us on WhatsApp at +1 (912) 742-5066 and you speak directly with the bilingual team — no forms or waiting. We answer any questions about the package, the flight, or payment before you book.
