Stop the Shocks Monkey Race 2018
On June 24th, the members of the Nosara community put on their running shoes in support of the Stop the Shocks Project, whose mission is to prevent wildlife electrocutions on uninsulated transformers and power lines. The annual Stop the Shocks Monkey Race, organized by HomeSchool Beach Nosara, has been a favorite among the local and expat communities for 6 years running now. Participants of the 1k race ran along a stretch of beautiful Playa Guiones, while 5k and 10k racers continued on a loop encircling all of Guiones. In total, the event raised $2,081!
