What Makes It Great

The flagship event traverses 113 kilometers through southern Patagonia's most dramatic terrain — glacial lakes, ancient Lenga beech forests, peat bogs, and high Andean ridgelines above Ushuaia. Starting at 3am under a southern sky, runners loop through iconic checkpoints at Cerro Castor ski resort, the Valle de Lobos valley, and the Olivia River gorge before returning to Ushuaia on the Beagle Channel.
