Upcoming Desert Races

The national deserts of Peru may be under visited and underrated, but absolutely gorgeous. Visit a coastal paradise, covered endless sand dunes and coastal beauty.  Desert races are flat, and run over hard sand (most of the time).  Marcona is a hidden gem, remote in the deep desert of Peru, 7 hours from Lima. Run the coast, and experience the desert, it is an unforgettable experience.  For the full desert experience, try this race:

Marcona Wind Trail | October 24, 2020

Race through a practically untouched, remote national desert that on the Pacific coast of Peru. Experience a place that tourists do not even know exists, as you run alongside stunning coastal views. Race and take in some sun. A beach party awaits at the finish.

10, 21, 42, 65k | UTMB® | Altitude : Low | San Juan de Marcona, Ica, Peru

Another beautiful race that touches through the desert is Lomas de Lachay, but only just during a section of the race.  Lomas is the most diverse race, which you will experience a bit of each climate (desert, jungle and mountains) but only in 5km increments. Check  it out:

Lomas de Lachay Andes Race | October 10, 2020
