During its short history, the event has brought together runners from more than 35 countries, all of whom has traveled to the Patagonia\u2019s extreme south to fulfill this dream of running in one of the planet\u2019s most pristine places. A few notable runners that have passed through these Ultra Fiord<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> territories are Jeff Browning (USA), Xavier Thevenard (France), Benoit Girondel (France), Philipp Reiter (Germany), Kirssy Moehl (USA), Ragna Debats (Netherlands), Nikki Kimball (USA), Pere Aurell (Spain), Gen\u00eds Zapater (Spain), Fernando Naz\u00e1rio (Brazil), Manu Vilaseca (Brazil) and Piotr Hercog (Poland), among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontz\">The base city is <strong>Puerto Natales<\/strong>, located 250 km to the north of Punta Arenas, the capital of the region. Geographically, the event takes place in the extreme south of the American continent, at 51\u00b0 south latitude, in a privileged location of Western Patagonia, located to the east of the Great Southern Ice Field and in the surroundings of Torres del Paine National Park, Providence of \u00daltima Esperanza (Last Hope), Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontz\">Sine its origin, Ultra Fiord<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> surprised the trail running world with its trails in one of the most remote and wild zones throughout Patagonia. A few of the most iconic images have been of the high-mountain passes, the glacier crossings, the pristine forests, and the views towards and fjords and mountains in Torres del Paine National Park. The event\u2019s character is marked by the extreme weather conditions in southern Patagonia, which at times can be very hostile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontz\">In its first five editions <strong>(2015-2019)<\/strong> the event took place in the month of April (autumn) and featured distances ranging from 30km to 100 Miles. However, to ensure the event&#8217;s continuity post-pandemic, the original Ultra Fiord model was adjusted. The event was moved to February (Patagonian summer) and the longer distances were shortened, but the event retained its&#8217; the most emblematic geographical area. Thus, the new model transformed into four race options: <strong>16K, 30K, 42K &#038; 55K<\/strong>. In Ultra Fiord, the difficulty levels depend not only on distance and altitude; here, one of the most relevant factors are the terrain conditions, and one of the most important factors to consider are the variable weather conditions on race day. All race options require prior experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontz\">Ultra Fiord<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is a unique and unforgettable experience, but at the moment of deciding whether to participate, it is very important to consider that this event has been designed for mountain runners with experience. The race routes penetrate mountainous areas that are both in the wild and without vehicle access. In addition, the climate is restless, and can even sometimes become hostile. Therefore, before making the decision to register, we invite you to review all of the available information on this page and even invite you to write us expressing any and all concerns. Even though you must pass a selection process to register for the race, the most important aspect of registration is that you have the security that you are preparing for this challenge!<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontz\"><strong>Ultra Fiord<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> is part of the <strong>Racing Patagonia<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> project, created by <strong>Stjepan Pavicic \u2013 geologist, ex-athlete and mountaineer \u2013 in the year 2002<\/strong>. Since its origin, this project searches to promote Chilean Patagonia around the world and contribute to sustainable development of tourism and the local community.
