For Competitors:

“Bienvenidos, legitimos corredores – Welcome true runners”

INCA RUN: A quest reaching back 600 years. Are you worthy of the Chasqui runners' legacy? Discover the true runner within. Here's a legitimate once in a lifetime gut-check opportunity.
Are you ready?

We are introducing a new and innovative race format that allows for both an expedition style stage race and a non-stop ultra run at the same event, allowing you to choose the type of race experience you prefer and have trained so hard to complete. Competitors from both categories will start together.

In addition to the race, and while giving you a bit of time to acclimate, we’ve packed the week with interesting highlights and adventure, including a visit to the lakeside village of Yampupata, where local Aymara Indians still fish from the traditional reed boats and then we visit the Island of the Moon where there are the fascinating ruins of an Inca monastery. The intricately carved stonework is an excellent example of the precise architecture for which the Inca’s were so famous.

For Guests:

Registered guests are also welcome to join us and spend time with competitors in the days leading up to the race. After the start of the race we have arranged for a guided 3-4 day adventure, including an option for cycling enthusiasts to brave the the infamous "Camino de la Muerte".

You will be lodging at one of our host hotels in Copacabana or Sorata and be taken to the town of Sorata in plenty of time to see the expedition stage run competitors arrive at the finish.

For Everyone:

Prior to the race start there will also be a remarkable opportunity to spend a day working alongside locals on an important community service project, a chance to give back to the community and our hosts in a meaningful way. This will be optional and complete details will be given to registered competitors and outlined later in the year in a press release.

We’re also very excited about our 8km prologue on the Island of the Sun because we will be opening this “warm up” run to local runners, children and guests wishing to join the competitors.
