Why it exist here
WHY IT EXIST HERE
Patagonia’s open terrain, long distances, and varied landscapes have made it a natural setting for endurance events. Running here is shaped by wind, terrain, and exposure, turning races into experiences that reflect the region’s environmental conditions rather than controlled courses.
