What the weather is usually like here

  • Over the last 5 years this week typically ran 6°C to 16°C here, with a high of 24°C and a low of 1°C.
  • 26% of those days saw rain. A real forecast lands about two weeks out and will appear here then.
  • Typical daily maximum wind was 21 km/h (a moderate wind), with 31 km/h the highest value in the sample.
  • Sunrise 06:14, sunset 20:47.

The race is more than two weeks out, so these are averages of recent years for the same week, not a forecast. A real forecast appears here closer to the day.

The race climbs from the gun: 412 m over the first 5 km. Do not chase the crowd, the two minutes you win here get taken back with interest.

The climb between km 29 and km 36: 1110 m over 7.1 km at 16% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 44% on the GPX trace. It tops out at 1934 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 36 269 m, km 34 210 m, km 35 202 m, km 32 173 m. Running is not on the menu at this grade; settle into a hike from the bottom and load the poles, short steps.

The steepest wall stands between km 69 and km 77: net 820 m over 8.4 km at 10% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 45% on the GPX trace, 984 m of climbing in total with 164 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 77 270 m, km 76 232 m, km 73 82 m, km 71 76 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.

The backbone of the course runs from km 88 to km 102: net 1175 m over 14 km at 8% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 37% on the GPX trace, 1404 m of climbing in total with 229 m given back. It tops out at 1948 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 99 277 m, km 102 191 m, km 100 189 m, km 98 148 m. By the time you start it, about 68% of the day's climbing is behind you. Trying to run this costs far more than it saves. Shorten the stride, lean on the poles, keep moving.

The late climb from km 114 to km 120: 591 m over 6.5 km at 9% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 31% on the GPX trace. Kilometre by kilometre: km 117 16 m, km 118 169 m, km 119 262 m, km 120 148 m. By the time you start it, about 90% of the day's climbing is behind you. At this point in the day most runners walk this gradient. Settle into a hiking rhythm and let the metres come.

The longest descent starts at km 100 and loses 912 m by km 115 at 6% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 39% on the GPX trace. Its length can load the quads, so begin under control and build rhythm only when the ground and visibility allow it. The drop at km 36 averages 44% on the GPX trace over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.

The last 6 km drop 470 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.

A steep pitch starts within about 1 km of TRONADOR; keep the stop short and do not enter it on cooled-down legs.

The leg from JULIO FELLEY to CHITAKA is long and unsupported: 11 km and 444 m of climbing with no aid in between, so leave JULIO FELLEY with full capacity.

You reach the climb after CHITAKA with about 447 m of descent already in your quads; treat its first half as recovery effort.

You reach the climb after COLONIA SUIZA with about 742 m of descent already in your quads; treat its first half as recovery effort.

  • The organiser lists 131 km; the published GPX measures 129 km. The organiser lists 6580 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 7011 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
  • This course reaches 1959 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran -2°C to 9°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 16 km/h, reaching 27 km/h in the sample. This is climate history, not the race-day forecast; keep the shell accessible if race week looks similar.
  • Sunset is 20:47 and the finish cut-off is 07:30. A runner using the full time allowance spends the final 8 hours 14 minutes in darkness.
  • Get the headtorch out before sunset and keep spare batteries or a power bank dry and immediately accessible. A spare buried at the bottom of the pack is not an emergency spare.
  • Check reflective course markers regularly in the dark. If the markings disappear, stop moving forward, return to the last marker and confirm the route against the GPX or organiser app.
  • At cut-off pace you run into a second night. Plan the sleep question before race day: an hour gained on the first night costs two on the second.
  • Poles are strongly recommended for this profile. The course averages 54 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 14 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
  • 16% of the course is steep descent. Increase your cadence instead of braking, or your quads go early.
  • The high point is 1959 m. Coming from sea level, your heart rate and breathing shift at the same pace, so leave yourself room in the first hour.
  • Km 119.8 to 123.1 is the same ground you covered at km 8.7; note your pace on the first pass and use it as the yardstick on the second.

Course-profile notes are generated from GPX grade data; terrain, rules, aid stations and weather are added only when separately sourced.

  • A heavy leg is next: 5.4 km with 977 m of climbing.
  • The climb starts immediately on exit (36%); keep the stop short.
  • Cut-off: 23h 45m after the start.
  • The longest stretch between official aid stations runs from JULIO FELLEY (km 17) to CHITAKA (km 29): 11 km, with 397 m of climbing in between. Top up at JULIO FELLEY and size what you carry to the expected duration and your own drinking rate.
  • Drinks only, no food, at TRONADOR (km 12). Loosen the flask caps on approach; with no queue, refill and leave in 20-30 seconds. Carry the food you will need from the previous station.
  • Cerro Otto (km 8) is a timing point only, with nothing on the table.
  • Hot food is served at LOS BAQUEANOS (km 42) and EL CHUCARO (km 65) and 1 more. If your stomach and race plan call for it, make this a deliberate 3-5 minute stop; do not sit down simply because hot food is available. Restart gently and let your stomach settle before lifting the effort.
  • Food is available at JULIO FELLEY (km 17) and CHITAKA (km 29) and 6 more. Decide what you need before reaching the table; without a planned special task, collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds. Finish eating on the next calm, suitable section.
  • Drop bags at EL CHUCARO (km 65) and EL CHUCARO 2 (km 99). Write down the equipment and food you expect to replace before the race so the decision is already made when you arrive.
  • Crew support is permitted only at CENTRO CÍVICO (km 0), EL CHUCARO (km 65), COLONIA SUIZA (km 85), and EL CHUCARO 2 (km 99). This is not the same as a drop bag: plan equipment and food hand-offs around these stations, then verify wristband, bag and transport rules with the organiser.
  • The last aid station is TRYPAY ANTÚ (km 118), leaving 13 km to the finish. After that you are on what you carry.
  • The heaviest leg runs from CHITAKA (km 29) to PC Pontoneros (km 36): 8 km with 1165 m of climbing. Treat it as the slowest part of your day and get your food out before it.
  • Medical support is available at CENTRO CÍVICO (km 0), TRONADOR (km 12), JULIO FELLEY (km 17), CHITAKA (km 29), LOS BAQUEANOS (km 42), PEUMA (km 52), EL CHUCARO (km 65), JAKOB (km 70), COLONIA SUIZA (km 85), CASA DE PIEDRA (km 93), EL CHUCARO 2 (km 99), HOKA (km 109), TRYPAY ANTÚ (km 118), and CENTRO CÍVICO (km 131). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
  • The climbing starts the moment you leave EL CHUCARO 2 (km 99): the steepest roughly 250 m section averages 36%. Choose food you know you digest easily and fill the bottles, then begin the climb under control.
  • The overall cut-off is 33h 30m, including all checkpoint stops. Build the plan around the official leg budgets below, not a flat-course average pace.
  • Relative to distance and climbing, the tightest official time budget runs from Start to CHITAKA (km 29): the official time budget is 5h for 29 km and 1231 m of climbing. Station stops come out of that same budget, so do not enter the leg already behind schedule.

This is a hiking section, not a running section. Set the rhythm as a hike and move up without burning matches.

The late climb from km 72 to km 78: 591 m over 6.5 km at 9% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 31% on the GPX trace. Kilometre by kilometre: km 75 23 m, km 76 190 m, km 77 256 m, km 78 134 m. By the time you start it, about 86% of the day's climbing is behind you.

  • The organiser lists 88 km; the published GPX measures 86.7 km. The organiser lists 4760 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 5024 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
  • This course reaches 1959 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran -2°C to 9°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 16 km/h, reaching 27 km/h in the sample. This is climate history, not the race-day forecast; keep the shell accessible if race week looks similar.
  • Start 05:00, sunrise 06:14: the first 1 hour 14 minutes are run in the dark. The headtorch goes on your head at the start, not in your pack.
  • Sunset is 20:47 and the finish cut-off is 03:00. A runner using the full time allowance spends the final 6 hours 13 minutes in darkness.
  • Get the headtorch out before sunset and keep spare batteries or a power bank dry and immediately accessible. A spare buried at the bottom of the pack is not an emergency spare.
  • Check reflective course markers regularly in the dark. If the markings disappear, stop moving forward, return to the last marker and confirm the route against the GPX or organiser app.

  • Hot food is served at LOS BAQUEANOS (km 42) and EL CHUCARO (km 56) and 1 more. If your stomach and race plan call for it, make this a deliberate 3-5 minute stop; do not sit down simply because hot food is available. Restart gently and let your stomach settle before lifting the effort.
  • Food is available at TRONADOR (km 12) and JULIO FELLEY (km 17) and 2 more. Decide what you need before reaching the table; without a planned special task, collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds. Finish eating on the next calm, suitable section.
  • Drop bag at EL CHUCARO (km 56). Write down the equipment and food you expect to replace before the race so the decision is already made when you arrive.
  • Crew support is permitted only at EL CHUCARO (km 56) and HOKA (km 66). This is not the same as a drop bag: plan equipment and food hand-offs around these stations, then verify wristband, bag and transport rules with the organiser.
  • The last aid station is TRYPAY ANTÚ (km 76), leaving 12 km to the finish. After that you are on what you carry.
  • The heaviest leg runs from CHITAKA (km 29) to PC Pontoneros (km 36): 8 km with 1156 m of climbing. Treat it as the slowest part of your day and get your food out before it.
  • Medical support is available at CENTRO CÍVICO (km 0), TRONADOR (km 12), JULIO FELLEY (km 17), CHITAKA (km 29), LOS BAQUEANOS (km 42), EL CHUCARO (km 56), HOKA (km 66), TRYPAY ANTÚ (km 76), and CENTRO CÍVICO (km 88). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
  • About 0.5 km after EL CHUCARO (km 56), a roughly 250 m section averaging 34% begins. Choose food you know you digest easily and fill the bottles, then enter the climb at a controlled effort.
  • The overall cut-off is 22h, including all checkpoint stops. Build the plan around the official leg budgets below, not a flat-course average pace.
  • Relative to distance and climbing, the tightest official time budget runs from HOKA (km 66) to TRYPAY ANTÚ (km 76): the official time budget is 1h 30m for 9 km and 197 m of climbing. Station stops come out of that same budget, so do not enter the leg already behind schedule.

The published GPX measures 57 km with 3115 m of climbing, 55 m per km. The course sits between 784 m and 1940 m of altitude. 66% of the gain sits in the first half.

  • 0-11 km · Start → PC Pontoneros: 1214 m up / 145 m down; the stretch climbs.
  • 11-17 km · PC Pontoneros → CHITAKA: 25 m up / 1084 m down; the stretch descends.
  • 17-20 km · CHITAKA → Mirador: 293 m up / 68 m down; the stretch climbs.
  • 20-22 km · Mirador → PEUMA HUE: 6 m up / 238 m down; the stretch descends.
  • 22-28 km · PEUMA HUE → Picada Frey: 453 m up / 194 m down; the stretch climbs.
  • 28-35 km · Picada Frey → EL CHUCARO: 306 m up / 342 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
  • 35-45 km · EL CHUCARO → TRYPAY ANTÚ: 152 m up / 327 m down; the stretch descends.
  • 45-49 km · TRYPAY ANTÚ → Cerro Otto: 570 m up / 106 m down; the stretch climbs.
  • 49-52 km · Cerro Otto → PIEDRAS BLANCAS: 54 m up / 239 m down; the stretch descends.
  • 52-57 km · PIEDRAS BLANCAS → Finish: 42 m up / 391 m down; the stretch descends.

The first 4.5 km are close to flat, good for settling in. Do not set your pace here, the real course starts after.

The backbone of the course runs from km 1 to km 11: 1125 m over 10 km at 11% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 44% on the GPX trace. It tops out at 1936 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 11 275 m, km 9 207 m, km 10 201 m, km 7 175 m. Running is off the table only in the steepest roughly 250 m core; hike that part with short steps and run again once the grade eases.

The late climb from km 44 to km 48: 598 m over 3.5 km at 17% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 35% on the GPX trace. Kilometre by kilometre: km 45 86 m, km 46 228 m, km 47 210 m, km 48 90 m. By the time you start it, about 77% of the day's climbing is behind you. Running is not on the menu at this grade; settle into a hike from the bottom and load the poles, short steps.

The longest descent starts at km 29 and loses 383 m by km 43 at 3% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 14%. Its length can load the quads, so begin under control and build rhythm only when the ground and visibility allow it. The drop at km 11 averages 44% on the GPX trace over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.

The last 6 km drop 556 m first and then climb 48 m. Empty your legs on the descent and that final rise takes the payment.

A steep pitch starts within about 0.3 km of PEUMA HUE; keep the stop short and do not enter it on cooled-down legs.

  • The organiser lists 57.5 km; the published GPX measures 56.6 km. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
  • This course reaches 1940 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran -3°C to 7°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 16 km/h, reaching 34 km/h in the sample. This is climate history, not the race-day forecast; keep the shell accessible if race week looks similar.
  • Even at cut-off pace you finish 1 hour 18 minutes before sunset. This one is run entirely in daylight.
  • Poles are strongly recommended for this profile. The course averages 55 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 10 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
  • The climbing is stacked into the first half. Start easy; even with less climbing later, the descents and accumulated fatigue still have to be managed.
  • 14% of the course is steep descent. Increase your cadence instead of braking, or your quads go early.
  • The high point is 1940 m. Coming from sea level, your heart rate and breathing shift at the same pace, so leave yourself room in the first hour.
  • Point to point: the finish sits 17.2 km from the start as the crow flies. Sort the shuttle and your drop bag before race day.
