Amancay Trail 80K

Amancay Trail 80K

The organiser calls it the great challenge of the event, a test of the mind as much as the body, for advanced mountain runners over 18. It starts at night, and the organiser’s guide and website still give different start times, so check the final runner guide. The course passes the aid points at Pampa Flores, Mirador, Prado and Cactáceas and ranges from 190 m to 829 m on the organiser’s profile. There are nine hydration points in all.

Two time barriers stand at km 17.5 and km 59.5, close to the base camp, with their times still to be confirmed, and those are also the two drop bag points, 20 litres at most. The night sections are marked with reflective tape, and a headlamp of at least 500 lumens with spare batteries is mandatory, along with 1.5 litres of water in soft flasks, a collapsible cup, a thermal blanket and a whistle.

This page covers the Amancay Trail 80K 2027. On Livebib, family and friends see the runner’s position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates through the night and into Saturday. If the phone loses its signal, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated.
