THE RACE

The shortest competitive distance of the event, yet one that will lead you to discover the experience of running at altitude with the imposing Aconcagua as your companion.

Starting at the Horcones Plateau, the gateway to Aconcagua, and finishing at Penitentes Plaza, this point-to-point race is ideal for runners who are new to trail running and looking to add a level of challenge before moving up to longer distances. It doesn’t present major technical difficulty, but the altitude will put your body to the test.

Yes, you can change distances as long as there are available spots and your registration is fully paid.

  • If switching to a shorter distance, the price difference is not refunded.
  • If switching to a longer distance, the runner must pay the fee difference.

How do I request a distance change?

CAN MY FAMILY / FRIENDS COME WATCH THE RACE?

Yes, absolutely. Just keep in mind that if the start line is in Horcones (inside the Aconcagua Provincial Park), they must pay the day-pass to enter the start area. The day-pass is purchased directly at Horcones, at the entrance to the Aconcagua Provincial Park.

Otherwise, they can see you from other points along the course outside the park. Check your course map here.
