About This Race
The 20K strikes an ideal balance for runners seeking a substantial trail challenge without the demands of ultra-distance racing. This distance provides enough time on Ecuador's varied terrain to experience meaningful elevation changes and ecosystem transitions, while remaining accessible to strong recreational runners and those building toward longer UTMB World Series events. Runners can expect to engage seriously with the technical aspects of Andean trail running while maintaining a more manageable effort level than the ultra distances.
