About the Run
Are you ready to run in the wild?
The Patagonian International Marathon is the first of its kind in the Torres del Paine National Park.
The race is comprised of a 63k ultramarathon, 42k marathon, 21k half marathon and 10k.
The run starts and ends in the Torres del Paine National Park and is a point-to-point run. The event offers runners of all abilities a distance to choose from. 2013 marks the second year for the event and the first year for the 63k ultramarathon.
Runners will race in the shadow of the incredible Torres del Paine, past its beautiful multi-coloured lakes, surrounded by it’s amazing wild creatures such as condors, guanaco, foxes, huemul and more.
The Reason We’re Running
The event, organized by NIGSA, continues to support the mission of calling the world’s attention to the conservation of Chilean Patagonia and contributing to the sustainable development of the region. For every entry, a tree will be donated to Reforestemos Patagonia, a campaign with the goal of planting 1 million native trees in Chilean Patagonia.
Cup Free Event
In continuing our commitment to the “Leave No Trace” policy, this year cups will NOT be provided at the Start or Finish Lines, or at Aid Stations.
This means every runner is required to carry with them their own water hydration system- handheld water bottle or bladder system.
By going cup free, we are hoping to accomplish the following:
1) Reduce Waste. Thousands of disposable cups will be kept from going into the garbage.
2) Reduce Litter. Because the wind is so strong in Torres del Paine National Park, cups can easily blow off the tables. By going cup free, we eliminate the chance for littering the park with disposable cups!
