Day 1: Arrival in Havana

  • Casa Particular, Havana

Welcome to Cuba!  A Cubania representative will meet you upon arrival at the airport and transfer you to your accommodation in the heart of Havana. The largest island in the Caribbean, Hemingway’s much-loved abode and one of the last planned economies in the world. You’re soon to discover that Cuba is all that and much, much more, but first sit back, relax and enjoy your first night in enchanting Havana.

Day 2: Exploring Havana

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Breakfast, Lunch

This morning we will start the day doing a yoga class with a local instructor before going to collect the registration documents and race bibs from the Marathon organisers. After the formalities have been completed, your guide will take you on a short walking tour of the Old Town concentrating on the four original squares around which the city was founded. Old Havana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 and millions of dollars have gone into this area in order to bring it back to its original splendour. It has the finest surviving Spanish colonial architecture in the Americas preserved by a combination of little war damage, post Revolution restoration work and the current restoration project. We will have lunch together in a restaurant in the Old Town, after which you’ll have an afternoon at your leisure. We will meet up again for an early evening tour of greater Havana. Setting off in classic 1950s American cars, we’ll drive along the picturesque Malecón coast road to the well-to-do 1950s Miramar district, home to some of Havana’s most striking 20th century architecture. Keep an eye out for the imposing Russian embassy and the elegant neoclassical homes, many of which are now embassies.
We will drive through the beautiful residential district of Vedado where wealthy sugar barons built elegant mansions in the early 20th century and stop in Revolution Square where Fidel made his famous speeches. The cars will then drop us back in town.

Day 3: Free Day To Prepare For Marathon

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Breakfast

Today is free for you to prepare in your own way for the race tomorrow.

Day 4: Marabana Cuba

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Breakfast, Dinner

Early start today to run the “Marabana Cuba”! Registration for participation in the marathon or other distance events has to have been made independently in advance of travel to Cuba. After finishing the race, the rest of the day is for you to relax. If you would like a massage (optional), this can be arranged at your casa particular. This evening we will get together for a celebratory dinner in one of Havana’s paladares (private restaurant).

Day 5: Scenic bike ride to beach - Departure Day

  • 48 km

This morning we’ll stop off at our bike warehouse to be fitted with bikes and helmets, and drive eastwards to ‘Escaleras de Jaruco’ where our scenic bike ride will begin. The ride will be approx. 48km starting out with some undulating rough roads in the mountainous terrain of Jaruco before descending and enjoying a mainly flat ride on decent roads all the way to the northern coastline. ‘Playas del Este’ are a series of beaches to the east of the city frequented by Cuban day-trippers in the summer months, but quiet for the rest of the year. We’ll stop for lunch after the ride and transfer back to the casa in Havana where the tour either ends or trip extensions begin.
