Introduction

The 80K is a race with all the spices of the 100k but with a little less distance and positive altimetry. Ideal for those who want to run an ULTRA, with the technical difficulty of 100k, the same landscapes but with more time that allows them to do them in a calmer way.

It can be divided into three very defined parts.

• A first one that passes through the highest peaks in the area (up to 1800 meters above sea level), trails of different technical difficulties and spectacular panoramic views of the mountain range.
• Another stage starts with greater contact with nature, where they will visit native forests and access different lakes through their beaches, coasts and streams.
• And for the grand finale, they will summit on a last hill at 1400 meters above sea level, from where they will have a view of the entire Nahuel Huapi lake and then begin to descend and approach the arrival at the Civic Center of the city.

At Daytime

The test will begin at dawn on March 14, from the base of Cerro Catedral. The start time is stipulated so that night traffic is less and that most of the route and the best landscapes can be enjoyed by day by all participants. It is also safer, since they will be traveling the most difficult routes in daylight.

Who can run the 80k?

Every runner who has consciously trained for such a requirement, understanding the difficulty, the slope and the necessary experience. Although the 80k has an average pace x km that is easier than the 100k, every participant must keep in mind that there will also be cut-off times during the course. (See cutting times)

We recommend having done at least two 50k tests previously. The 80k route goes through more technical terrain than usual in this distance, therefore the time of completion and effort is greater.
