The accumulated elevation will be: 1300m (marathon) 950m (half marathon) 320m. in the 10k approx.

Maximum altitude will be 4450m in the marathon, 2900m in the half marathon and approximately 2300m in the 10k. The start point in the Raccachaca valley is located at 3500m. approx.

The surface is a mixture of dirt tracks and trails in various environments; humid rainforest up to 2500m, drier heath forest, up to 3500m and rockier Andean landscape up to 4500m, so multipurpose trail footwear is recommended. The accumulated elevation is significant but easily affordable in the program.

The temperature can vary from 5ºC at the highest point up to 25ºC approx. goal so the organization will provide a point for participants to remove their clothes if the temperature rises.
