Patagonia Camp Cup 2026: Run through forests, mountains, and Patagonian adventure

Patagonia Camp Team · October 2025

Patagonia Camp Cup 2026 returns on May 2, 2026, for its ninth edition, inviting runners of all levels to enjoy a trail running experience immersed in the purest nature of southern Chile. With distances of 5 km, 15 km, 21 km, and 42 km, we are looking for more people to join the challenge amid centuries-old forests, lakes, and majestic mountains.

The trails wind through forests of lenga and coigüe trees, cross streams, climb and descend slopes of varying degrees of difficulty, and offer panoramic views stretching from the valley to the mountains. In autumn, the landscape undergoes a transformation: golden leaves, light filtering through the trees, and the approach of winter add drama to the surroundings.

Routes with character and scenery

Distances for each runner

5 km: ideal for those who want to get started in trail running with an accessible but exciting route.
15 km: combines technical sections with scenic stretches for those who want a moderate challenge.
21 km: medium distance that challenges both pace and strategy in the mountains.
42 km: ultra-trail that demands endurance, technique, and an adventurous spirit.

The finish line is not the end of the event: it is the beginning of a collective moment that honors the effort, the landscape, and the energy of Patagonia.

Complementary experience: Stay program

The real magic begins after the effort: when you cross the finish line, a celebration awaits you, designed to make the end of the race as memorable as its trails.

Free recovery massages to relax your muscles and connect your body with the landscape.
Traditional barbecue and buffet to share local flavors and conversation among runners, companions, and staff.
Awards ceremony, a moment of recognition and community: trophies, applause, and authentic connections.
Awards party, where rhythm and excitement mix with the lights of the Patagonian sunset.

For those who want to enjoy the event without worrying about logistics, we have designed a special stay program that includes accommodation, transportation, excursions, and access to all event activities. You can find all the information at this link or by contacting our reservations team.
