The Early Years
2009Established in 2009, the Cusco Half Marathon is now 17 years old. From its first edition in Cusco, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Peru.
コースと標高
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.

August is Cusco's dry season with cool mornings and mild afternoons. Expect crisp mountain air, low humidity, and minimal rainfall, though temperatures drop significantly at this altitude. UV exposure is high due to thin atmosphere and proximity to equator.

The Hills That Break You
With 420m of elevation gain, the Cusco Half Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
