About This Race
The second-longest option at Ushuaia by UTMB, the 88.5K presents a formidable challenge that pushes runners deep into Patagonia's unforgiving terrain while stopping short of the event's ultimate test. This distance demands serious ultra-distance experience and mental fortitude, as runners must maintain focus and energy management across extended exposure to wind, elevation changes, and technical terrain that can break down even experienced mountain runners. The 88.5K serves as either a stepping stone for those building toward longer UTMB World Series events or a destination race for runners seeking a substantial ultra challenge without committing to the full 126.7K distance.
