Race Details
Description
Runners pass through mountains and volcanoes, snowy peaks, forests, lakes, valleys and rocky areas. Despite being held during the summer, the temperature variations in this part of the world are infamous! Some years there’s been spectacular sun overhead, while others have seen runners face truly adverse conditions including snow, high winds and heavy rains.
El Cruce is a race for those who love adventure and are willing to face three days running and living among the mountains, enduring all the difficulties that entails. It’s the perfect first step on the multi-day stage race ladder.
