costa rica homestay

i want to do a homestay or language study in costa rica but…?
but it would be the summer before my senior year in high school and i dont want it to ruin my cross country season. if i went the first 3 weeks of summer i would be missing the first 2 weeks of xc which is mostly just getting out and running 45-60 minutes. if i go through a program what are the chances that they could match me with a host family that has a runner in the family i could run with if i requested it? basically i’m asking, is running common in central america, specifically costa rica or is that something that most people dont really do?
I have no idea, but I am guessing every country has people who like to run.
