Big Foot Race — Finca Cienaguilla, San José Pinula

Reports and event feedback

• Historical Big Foot account — an exhausting but rewarding return to racing ↗

  Narrator calling himself Rubén; published under Rosario Orellana’s byline · 2017

  The narrator describes demanding mud, walls and brown-water swimming, and the satisfaction of reaching the finish. He enjoyed the experience and wants to set further challenges despite the exhaustion.

  Complete relevant first-person account published 25 June 2017. It explicitly names Big Foot and San José Pinula, but not the precise course property, raced day, distance or class. The narrator addresses himself as Rubén, while the page’s byline is Rosario Orellana; that authorship uncertainty is retained. He says he bought a ticket, with reimbursement or sponsorship unstated. His self-reported finish does not establish every-obstacle clearance. This is a town/programme-level historical join, not proof that the 2017 property, route or services match Finca Cienaguilla in November 2026. Personal medical/biographical claims and unrelated video links are excluded. No numerical overall is supplied.

Series

Big Foot Race

• The original event report identifies Finca Cienaguilla in San José Pinula and adds Saturday 14 November 2026 to the originally announced 17–18 October programme. These are distinct offered days, not one continuous month-long race. The earlier listing’s 18 October header does not replace the subsequently announced November day.
• The seven-kilometre/thirty-obstacle programme allows individual or large group entries and waves every thirty minutes. Optional obstacle bypasses are explicit in the earlier programme; finishing does not establish that every obstacle was cleared. Timing status, exact route measurements and a surveyed start gate are unverified.
• The 2017 first-person account identifies Big Foot in San José Pinula but not the precise farm, raced day, class or distance. It is historical town/programme-level context, not verification of an identical Finca Cienaguilla route or the November 2026 services. Organizer and sponsor quotations are not participant ratings.
