Before you go

Altitude

The 20K Surupamba course reaches 3,821 m. Altitude sickness can start from about 2,450 m: if you are coming from the coast or from abroad, spend two or three nights in the highlands before you race.

Altitude and acclimatization

Rain

The highlands have two rainy seasons, February to May and October to November, and November falls in one of them. Expect mud and wear shoes with good grip.

Rainy seasons by region

Kit

The 50K Juchimbuela starts at 01:00, in the dark, so a headlamp is essential. Check the mandatory kit list in the rules before you register.
