The first 5 km climb 459 m and then drop 176 m. Do not attack the opening climb in the crowd, and do not brake your way down the drop behind it.

The backbone of the course runs from km 15 to km 24: 1432 m over 9.4 km at 15% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 30%. It tops out at 3829 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 20 234 m, km 16 232 m, km 18 230 m, km 19 210 m. Running is not on the menu at this grade; settle into a hike from the bottom and load the poles, short steps.

The climb between km 52 and km 59: 1016 m over 7.3 km at 14% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 31% on the GPX trace. It tops out at 3407 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 57 295 m, km 59 205 m, km 58 168 m, km 56 162 m. By the time you start it, about 59% of the day's climbing is behind you. 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 steepest wall stands between km 73 and km 80: net 743 m over 6.7 km at 11% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 31% on the GPX trace, 843 m of climbing in total with 100 m given back. It tops out at 2920 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 80 204 m, km 74 188 m, km 75 154 m, km 76 139 m. By the time you start it, about 84% of the day's climbing is behind you. The hard core of this climb is hiking ground; keep the rest at a steady effort and do not fight the wall when it arrives.

The longest descent starts at km 59 and loses 1217 m by km 73 at 9% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 41% 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 32 averages 27% 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 climb 126 m and then drop 624 m. Walk the climb, take the descent back, and hold the sprint until the drop is done.

You reach the climb after PALETA DEL PINTOR with about 844 m of descent already in your quads; treat its first half as recovery effort.

The leg from PALETA DEL PINTOR to ABRA is long and unsupported: 13 km and 1549 m of climbing with no aid in between, so leave PALETA DEL PINTOR with full capacity.

You reach the climb after TUNALITO with about 1710 m of descent already in your quads; treat its first half as recovery effort.

The organiser lists 87.2 km; the published GPX measures 85.6 km. The organiser lists 5101 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 5430 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
This course reaches 3830 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 2°C to 12°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 8 km/h, reaching 15 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 07:30: the first 2 hours 30 minutes are run in the dark. The headtorch goes on your head at the start, not in your pack.
Sunset is 19:18, 14 hours 18 minutes after the gun. If your target time is longer than that, carry a headtorch whether or not the rules demand one.
Poles are strongly recommended for this profile. The course averages 63 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 9.4 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
22% of the course is steep descent. Increase your cadence instead of braking, or your quads go early.
Arrive early for the altitude. The course tops out at 3830 m, and coming up from sea level on race morning costs you more than any training block gains. Get to the area a few days ahead and let your body adjust.
The altitude is not a single summit: about 86 km of the course sits above 1800 m, 73 km above 2400 m, 26 km above 3000 m. The longest unbroken stretch up high is 86 km and the high zone spans roughly km 0 to km 86. About 100% of the total climbing happens in that thin air, so recalibrate your effort to the altitude, not the gradient alone.
Point to point: the finish sits 20.3 km from the start as the crow flies. Sort the shuttle and your drop bag before race day.

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

Key decision points

PALETA DEL PINTORkm 13

Collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds.
The heaviest leg is next: 13 km with 1602 m of climbing.
The longest unsupported stretch starts here: 13 km. Leave with full capacity.

LOS COLORADOSkm 54

Collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds.
A heavy leg is next: 13 km with 1213 m of climbing.
A 31% pitch starts about 1.8 km after the station; do not enter it cooled down.

EL PASOkm 67

Take hot food you digest easily and top up fluids.
Your drop bag waits here; work off your prepared list.

The longest stretch between official aid stations runs from PALETA DEL PINTOR (km 13) to ABRA (km 26): 13 km, with 1602 m of climbing in between. Top up at PALETA DEL PINTOR and size what you carry to the expected duration and your own drinking rate.
Hot food is served at EL PASO (km 67). 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 PALETA DEL PINTOR (km 13) and ABRA (km 26) and 5 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 PASO (km 67). 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 TILCARA (km 0). 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.
Another heavy leg runs from LOS COLORADOS (km 54) to EL PASO (km 67): 13 km with 1213 m of climbing. Treat it as the slowest part of your day and get your food out before it.
Medical support is available at TILCARA (km 0), PALETA DEL PINTOR (km 13), ABRA (km 26), PUNTA CORRAL (km 32), TUNALITO (km 44), LOS COLORADOS (km 54), EL PASO (km 67), TUMBAYA (km 75), EL PASO II (km 83), and PURMAMARCA (km 88). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
About 2 km after LOS COLORADOS (km 54), a roughly 250 m section averaging 31% begins. Choose food you know you digest easily and fill the bottles, then enter the climb at a controlled effort.

The first 4 km drop 76 m. Fresh legs make it feel free, but you climb every metre of it back.

The climb between km 7 and km 12: 510 m over 5.1 km at 10% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 22%. It tops out at 2757 m. Kilometre by kilometre: km 8 42 m, km 9 92 m, km 10 113 m, km 11 106 m, km 12 137 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.

The drop at km 12 averages 28% 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 624 m first and then climb 109 m. Empty your legs on the descent and that final rise takes the payment.

A steep pitch starts within about 1.4 km of TUNALITO; keep the stop short and do not enter it on cooled-down legs.

You reach the climb after LOS COLORADOS with about 472 m of descent already in your quads; treat its first half as recovery effort.

By the time you start it, about 75% of the day's climbing is behind you. 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 longest descent starts at km 12 and loses 425 m by km 20 at 5% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 31% 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 last 2.5 km drop 83 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.

A steep pitch starts within about 1.3 km of TUNALITO; keep the stop short and do not enter it on cooled-down legs.

The leg from TUNALITO to LOS COLORADOS is long and unsupported: 11 km and 628 m of climbing with no aid in between, so leave TUNALITO with full capacity.

This course reaches 2757 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 7°C to 18°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 13 km/h, reaching 16 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 49 minutes before sunset. This one is run entirely in daylight.
Consider bringing poles. The course averages 41 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 5 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
Arrive early for the altitude. The course tops out at 2757 m, and coming up from sea level on race morning costs you more than any training block gains. Get to the area a few days ahead and let your body adjust.
The altitude is not a single summit: about 21 km of the course sits above 1800 m, 8.4 km above 2400 m. The longest unbroken stretch up high is 21 km and the high zone spans roughly km 0 to km 21. About 100% of the total climbing happens in that thin air, so recalibrate your effort to the altitude, not the gradient alone.
Point to point: the finish sits 10 km from the start as the crow flies. Sort the shuttle and your drop bag before race day.
