About This Race
The 22K strikes an ideal balance for runners seeking a substantial mountain challenge without the ultra-distance commitment, featuring enough elevation and technical terrain to demand respect while remaining achievable for those stepping up from shorter trail races. This distance allows runners to experience the full character of Patagonian mountain running—dense forest sections, lakeside trails, and meaningful climbs—while maintaining a pace that lets you truly absorb the stunning surroundings rather than simply surviving them. Perfect for runners transitioning from road racing to mountain trails, or experienced trail runners looking for a fast, focused effort in world-class terrain.
