Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Prepares for 100k of the Caribbean Marathon

PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic - Feb. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club knows that many travelers enjoy staying healthy, even on vacation. For these and other adventure-seeking travelers, the annual 100k of the Caribbean marathon will be of great interest to them. This sprawling marathon takes place over five days and is broken apart into five different stages, staggering the entire race into five unique sections that showcase the overwhelming beauty of the Dominican Republic's coastline. It is safe to say that experienced marathon runners have never before experienced a marathon quite like this one.

Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club has some tips that travelers may want to take into consideration as they prepare for this impressive marathon. Because the majority of the race is taking place on the cool, breezy coastlines of the Dominican Republic, the weather may not feel hot but the sun is still out and runners should take care to liberally cover themselves with sunscreen to prevent any sun burns while they are out racing. Staying hydrated is also important. While the standard go-to drink of water is great for staying hydrated, a sports drink can do triple duty as it refuels not only the body's hydration levels, but refills sodium that is lost in sweat as well as stocking up on fresh, energy-boosting electrolytes that the body uses when exercising.

The second stage is in Puerto Plata and stretches for 17.5k and features undulating and rocky tracks as well as three checkpoints along the way.

The final stage is a 12k through Lanza del Norte Beach, with a checkpoint at the 7.5k mark.

Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club is positive that travelers who enjoy a challenge will find nothing else like the 100k of the Caribbean in the world.
