TECHNICAL BRIEFING

THE RACE

The shortest distance of the event, but it will still let you experience running at altitude with the imposing Aconcagua as your companion.

Starting at the Horcones Parking Area, the gateway to Aconcagua, and finishing at Plaza de Penitentes, this point-to-point race is ideal for runners who are new to trail running and are looking to add difficulty before moving on to longer distances. It has no major technical difficulty, but the altitude will put your body to the test.

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.
