Crossing Costa Rica from coast to coast, alone. 245 km, 12,596 m of elevation gain, oppressive heat, and stifling humidity. An extreme challenge, taken on with unwavering determination by Charlie Arsan. A project conceived and executed solo, where every step brought her closer to her goal: pushing her own limits and proving that nothing is impossible.
“Not once did I question what I was doing there or what madness had driven me. I knew that once I committed, there was no turning back. And when going back is no longer an option, the only thing that matters is finding the best way to move forward.”

A solo project, an unbreakable will
Facing hostile conditions, pushing forward through fatigue and pain, and uncovering unknown reserves of strength within herself. Charlie experienced every moment of this journey as a lesson, an exploration of her own limits. In the depths of extreme effort and solitude, she discovered an untapped inner strength.
At Compressport, we believe that sport is a platform for expression and self-improvement, regardless of gender, goals, or experience. Supporting Charlie in this adventure means standing by an athlete who dares, who carves her own path, and who inspires others to do the same.
“There is, in extreme fatigue and deep solitude, a mental door that remains untouched by those who rely only on familiar strengths in their efforts.”
