I went on quite a few runs while on holiday. I went up the famous Rano Kau crater a few times, I did a run to the highest point on the island and I also covered most of the trails on the town side of the island. On the 22nd of September we did an unofficial Rhino Run together to show our support and to spread the word. It was a great break and a good chance to run somewhere warm and tropical as we are just starting spring in Santiago.

I appreciate your photos and information about the island. Are there Mark trails that people run-on? Is it safe to run along the roads? Is there a running group there that I can hook up with?
Thanks,
Clyde
Hi Clyde
There are some obvious marked trails to run on - especially along the crater - however there isn't an extensive network of trails. I ran a lot on the jeep tracks or dirt roads which seem to run all over the island and were perfectly safe to follow. I think you'll find it very easy to follow the kind of trails / roads you want to run on.
I was only there for a short time and I'm happy exploring on my own so I didn't enquire about a running club or group. Sorry.
Daniel
