Strecke & Höhenprofil

The Cusco Half Marathon features a challenging course through the historic Inca capital at high altitude (3,400m/11,150ft), starting near the Plaza de Armas and ascending through colonial streets and neighborhoods with significant elevation changes. Runners experience authentic Andean scenery with views of surrounding mountains, passing through local communities and historic sites before descending back toward the city center. The course tests cardiovascular fitness due to altitude rather than pure distance.
