Thus, he registered for a 10K event organized by the Air Force in the Metropolitan Region and enjoyed it so much that he sought additional challenges. The launch of the first marathon in Torres del Paine National Park appeared as a blip on his radar: \u201cI traveled to join the first edition and haven&#8217;t stopped attending the event since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"blogQuotes\">I traveled to join the first edition and haven&#8217;t stopped attending the event since.

September is a month that is reserved on his calendar. For this reason, Racing Patagonia<sup class=\"fontRegister\">\u00ae<\/sup> honored him during the tenth anniversary of <strong>Patagonian International Marathon<sup class=\"fontRegister\">\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>, which took place in 2022. He was not expecting it: \u201cThe recognition for having participated in the ten editions was a great surprise. This race is unique and I recommend it to all my friends. On social media as well,\u201d he mentions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"fotoGumpRuta\">\n<div id=\"rutaLeft\">\n<h6 class=\"blogQuotes\" id=\"quoteStrip\">The recognition for having participated in the ten editions was a great surprise.

Today, they run together, and both have observed the evolution of <strong>Patagonian International Marathon<sup class=\"fontRegister\">\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>: The passionate runner reflected, \u201cIn the beginning, water was provided in disposable plastic cups, but during the most-recent editions, water and isotonic are only obtainable through personal bottles that runners must carry, which I find to be very good. Also, over time, the race routes have changed within the park, which is a positive change for me, as it has allowed me to discover even more places. Another aspect is the increase in the number of participants, both in the number of Chileans and countries, mainly from America and Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"firstQuestion\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"forestGumpContainer\">\n<div id=\"forestGump\">\n<div class=\"subPhotoContainer\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.racingpatagonia.com\/pmarathon\/blog\/luisOrtiz_PIM_4.png\" alt=\"Luis Ortiz 4\" class=\"forestImageMobileDos\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bgroundPhotoContainerDos\">\n<p class=\"fontPhotoContainer\"><strong style=\"color:#ffd806;\">Luis Ortiz <span>&#38;<\/span> Teresa Carmona<\/strong> Running the 2019 Patagonian International Marathon<sup class=\"fontRegister\">\u00ae<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"firstQuestion\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"blogFont\">Since his retirement as a professor from the University of Santiago (Usach) on 1 September,  2021, Luis Ortiz not only left Santiago to begin a life between Villarica and Chilo\u00e9, but he has also scheduled trips to different parts of the world: he competed in the Berlin Marathon last year and the London marathon this past 23 April, 2023. \u201cMy time was 5 hours and 13 minutes, which is acceptable for my age,\u201d he remarks.

The faithful athlete, who will be 77 years old by this 9 September, confirmed his participation in the 21K: \u201cLooking at the Cuernos del Paine, the snow-capped mountains and the lakes is very moving.
