Parcours et dénivelé
This ultra-challenging marathon follows segments of the legendary Inca Trail, starting in the Sacred Valley near Ollantaytambo and finishing in Cusco. Runners traverse ancient stone pathways, cloud forest, and high-altitude terrain while experiencing some of the most iconic Incan archaeological sites. The course combines historical immersion with extreme altitude demands, reaching nearly 4,000 meters above sea level.
🌤️ Météo
August is the dry season in the Andes with cool temperatures and clear skies, though altitude-related cold is significant. Low humidity and minimal rainfall create ideal conditions for trekking marathons, but runners must acclimatize to extreme elevation.
