Ultra Paine

In 2014, Ultra Paine® became the first trail-running event to take place in both Torres del Paine National Park and Southern Patagonia, Chile. Since then, the event has been held annually in September, with the exception of 2020 due to the pandemic. Starting in 2016, the race route was established outside the park, but close to it, passing through a variety of landscapes with the backdrop of the main mountains of Torres del Paine National Park. The event has attracted runners from more than 40 countries, all coming to the southern tip of Patagonia to experience the trails of one of the most pristine locations on the planet!

The base city is Puerto Natales, located 250 km north of Punta Arenas, the capital of the region. Geographically, the event takes place in the extreme south of the American continent, at 51° south latitude, in a privileged location of Western Patagonia, east of the Great Southern Ice Field and in the vicinity of Torres del Paine National Park, Providence of Última Esperanza (Last Hope), Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region.

The race route has consolidated over the past few years to create an  experience that includes distances from 7Km to 80Km (50 Miles). Due to  its format and characteristics, the event is open to all levels of  participants, ranging from those who are just entering the world of  trail running to the most experienced mountain runners.
