AT THE EDGE OF SOUTH AMERICA

The Patagonian International Marathon is a road running event that takes place in Chilean Patagonia, at the Province of Última Esperanza, in the surroundings of Torres del Paine National Park.

Since the first running of the race in 2012, the event has brought together thousands of runners from more than 50 countries, converging to the southern tip of the Patagonia to fulfill the dream of running in one of the most pristine place on the planet. The southernmost tip of the South American continent, it is one of the few regions in the world with coasts on three oceans, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Southern Ocean to the south.

The ninth edition of the Patagonian International Marathon will take place on Saturday, September 5, 2020, and will maintain the classic race distances of 42km, 21km, and 10km. The shared finish line for all distances will be located at the spectacular Hotel Río Serrano (#TheAmazingFinishLine). The 2020 race route will be located to the South of the majestic Torres del Paine National Park. The magic of running in Patagonia, together with runners from around the world and the adventure of confronting a restless, and sometimes even hostile, climate will continue being the essence of the event.

THE ROUTE

Geographically, the event is developed in the American continent’s extreme south, at 51° south latitude, in a prime location of Western Patagonia, to the East of the Great Southern Ice Field and South of Torres del Paine National Park. The closest city to the event’s race zone is Puerto Natales, located 250 km to the North of Punta Arenas, which is the region’s capital.
