The Race

Three distances.
One mountain.

CucunuTrail is one-day technical trail running on the Cucunubá mountain: zigzagging forest single track, wind-exposed ridges and the summit of Cerro Quisique at 3,040 m. Three formats, open data and an honest course.

What awaits you

Single tracks, ridges and altitude

Mountain forest

Pine forest and open mountain trail with native sub-páramo vegetation in the upper sections.

Technical terrain

Rocks, roots, exposed sections and fast descents over loose stone.

Altitude

Start at 2,680 m, summit at 3,040 m. Acclimation recommended.

10K distance

Relay distance

The 20K, split in two

The relay is not the easy option: it is exactly the 20K course, shared between two runners. Runner 1 takes the first lap (the 10K one) and runner 2 the second, with its variant at the start. Handover in the transition zone.
