Course map and elevation profile
What the weather is usually like here
- Over the last 5 years this week typically ran 5°C to 10°C here, with a high of 13°C and a low of -1°C.
- 66% of those days saw rain. A real forecast lands about two weeks out and will appear here then.
- Typical daily maximum wind was 17 km/h (a light breeze), with 32 km/h the highest value in the sample.
- Sunrise 09:14, sunset 18:36.
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: 156 m over the first 5 km. Do not chase the crowd, the two minutes you win here get taken back with interest.
The backbone of the course runs from km 10 to km 29: net 682 m over 19 km at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 13%, 1060 m of climbing in total with 378 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 29 96 m, km 13 90 m, km 14 77 m, km 15 74 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.
The steepest wall stands between km 52 and km 60: net 486 m over 7.9 km at 6% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 15%, 550 m of climbing in total with 64 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 58 101 m, km 57 98 m, km 53 82 m, km 56 63 m. Trying to run this costs far more than it saves. Shorten the stride, lean on the poles, keep moving.
The longest descent starts at km 29 and loses 695 m by km 40 at 6% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 26%. 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 60 averages 31% 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 roll: 168 m up and 166 m down. Do not start the finishing effort early, there is another climb in there.
The leg from Las Truchas 1 to Cafetería Oncol is long and unsupported: 19 km and 796 m of climbing with no aid in between, so leave Las Truchas 1 with full capacity.
A steep pitch starts within about 0.8 km of Quitaqui; keep the stop short and do not enter it on cooled-down legs.
- This course reaches 701 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 2°C to 7°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 20 km/h, reaching 36 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 18:36 and the finish cut-off is 20:00. A runner using the full time allowance spends the final 11 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.
- Consider bringing poles. The course averages 39 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 7.9 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
- Point to point: the finish sits 5.6 km from the start as the crow flies. Sort the shuttle and your drop bag before race day.

- The longest stretch between official aid stations runs from Las Truchas 1 (km 6) to Cafetería Oncol (km 25): 19 km, with 818 m of climbing in between. Top up at Las Truchas 1 and size what you carry to the expected duration and your own drinking rate.
- Drinks only, no food, at Las Truchas 1 (km 6). 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.
- Hot food is served at Cafetería Oncol (km 25) and Pililín (km 34) and 7 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.
- Drop bag at Casa Manns (km 52). 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 Potreros (km 78) and Espacio Bayo (km 91). 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 El Castaño (km 96), leaving 5 km to the finish. After that you are on what you carry.
- Another heavy leg runs from El Canelo (km 60) to Las Truchas 2 (km 73): 13 km with 594 m of climbing. Treat it as the slowest part of your day and get your food out before it.
- Medical support is available at Las Truchas 1 (km 6), Cafetería Oncol (km 25), Pililín (km 34), Casa Manns (km 52), El Canelo (km 60), Las Truchas 2 (km 73), Potreros (km 78), Espacio Bayo (km 91), El Castaño (km 96), and Finish (km 101). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
- About 1 km after Quitaqui (km 43), a roughly 250 m section averaging 22% 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 Potreros (km 78) to Finish (km 101): the official time budget is 3h 30m for 23 km and 395 m of climbing. Station stops come out of that same budget, so do not enter the leg already behind schedule.

20K course20 km · 726 m gain · 39% uphill · 1 aid station
- Steep climb (10%+)
- Climb (3-10%)
- Flat
- Descent
- Steep descent (12%+)
The published GPX measures 20 km with 726 m of climbing, 36 m per km. The course sits between -8 m and 310 m of altitude. 63% of the gain sits in the first half.
The first 1.6 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 7: net 295 m over 5.8 km at 5% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 14%, 336 m of climbing in total with 41 m given back. Kilometre by kilometre: km 2 98 m, km 3 64 m, km 4 51 m, km 5 56 m, km 6 26 m, km 7 42 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.
The climb between km 9 and km 12: 168 m over 2.8 km at 6% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 12%. Kilometre by kilometre: km 10 68 m, km 11 41 m, km 12 52 m. By the time you start it, about 51% 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 longest descent starts at km 12 and loses 309 m by km 20 at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 22%. 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 7 averages 21% over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.
The last 2.4 km drop 137 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
- This course reaches 310 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 4°C to 9°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 17 km/h, reaching 28 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 2 hours 35 minutes before sunset. This one is run entirely in daylight.
- Consider bringing poles. The course averages 36 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 5.8 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.
Course-profile notes are generated from GPX grade data; terrain, rules, aid stations and weather are added only when separately sourced.
Aid stations
- The longest stretch between official aid stations runs from Start (km 0) to Collico (km 12): 12 km, with 543 m of climbing in between. Top up at Start and size what you carry to the expected duration and your own drinking rate.
- Hot food is served at Collico (km 12). 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.
- The last aid station is Collico (km 12), leaving 8 km to the finish. After that you are on what you carry.
- Medical support is available at Collico (km 12) and Finish (km 20). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
- The overall cut-off is 6h, 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 Collico (km 12): the official time budget is 3h 40m for 12 km and 546 m of climbing. Station stops come out of that same budget, so do not enter the leg already behind schedule.

The published GPX measures 12 km with 326 m of climbing, 27 m per km. The course sits between 8 m and 67 m of altitude. 55% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-6.2 km · Start → Castaño 1: 193 m up / 161 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 6.2-10 km · Castaño 1 → Castaño 2: 121 m up / 106 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 10-12 km · Castaño 2 → Finish: 12 m up / 57 m down; close to flat.
The first 1.5 km are close to flat, good for settling in. Do not set your pace here, the real course starts after.
The last 2 km are close to flat. Plan your finishing pace around that, there is nothing left to save.
- Sunset is 18:35 and the finish cut-off is 21:30. A runner using the full time allowance spends the final 2 hours 55 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.
- Poles are optional: 27 m of gain per km. Bring them to protect your legs, not to gain speed.
- At km 4.6 you pass right by the finish area with 7.6 km still to go; the noise there breaks more races than the climbs do.

Key decision points
Castaño 1km 6.2
- Take hot food you digest easily and top up fluids.
- A 12% pitch starts about 0.3 km after the station; do not enter it cooled down.
- Hot food is served at Castaño 1 (km 6) and Castaño 2 (km 10). 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.
- Medical support is available at Finish (km 12). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
- About 0.3 km after Castaño 1 (km 6), a roughly 250 m section averaging 12% 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 3h 30m, including all checkpoint stops. Build the plan around the official leg budgets below, not a flat-course average pace.
