Patagonian Expedition Race information


The Patagonian Expedition Race is an annual endurance adventure race that takes place in the remote wilderness of Chilean Patagonia, run to help protect and raise awareness about the fragile environment in this region. Known as the 'Race to the End of the World', the 10-day event challenges co-ed international teams of four athletes in the disciplines of trekking, sea kayaking, orienteering, and mountain biking. The race takes place on a different course each year, with competitors using a map and compass to navigate through previously unknown terrain. Due to its challenging nature, it is also known as 'The Last Wild Race',[1] and has been described as 'The World's toughest adventure race'[2] and the ‘Dakar’ of adventure racing.[3] The 13th edition of the race took place from 17 to 30 November 2018.[4]
