Meaningful movement in Nature.
EcoEndurance creates meaningful movement experiences around the world that support local and Indigenous communities and highlight community-based conservation.
Origin story
In 2022, EcoEndurance's first partners met during a friend's adventure project in Ecuador, L'odyssée d'Huma. At the end of that trip, they sat together in an Andean hot spring, wondering about a unique tour from the Andes to the Amazon, specifically for runners. From that moment forward, it was as if the idea could no longer be contained. What bubbled up from that "hot spring moment" was the start of an adventure— a creation between friends from Ecuador and the US, and the launch of a unique way to travel, move, and explore the world through intentional travel and running.
In January 2023, EE collaboratos conducted a pilot run tour with Quito-based hiking company, La Trocha. When the pilot exceeded expectations, EE’s founder, Mere, returned to the US to formally launch EcoEndurance as a US-based tourism company with a mission to share space for meaningful movement in Nature.
Through collaboration, EE continues to realize its eco travel, running, and hiking dreams. Today, EcoEndurance is broadening its horizons to launch sustainable, small-scale, community-based and regenerative running tours worldwide. Will you tag along?

Mere Beaton, EcoEndurance founder
Mere finds happiness in the worlds of adventure athletics, sustainability, and exploration. That's how EcoEndurance was born. She’s up for the adventure. Once she went on a night hike to look for Jaguars in Belize, all while thinking, "what if I see one?" Once, she ran over three volcanoes in Guatemala and two in Nicaragua.
