Race Description:

This race will take place in the region of Coquimbo, the entry gate to the Chilean desert.

It’s all of these aspects that make it an amazing stage for an adventure race, that will take the participants across unique landscapes and geographical zones. With the winner earning a place among the finalists of the 2024 South American finals.
