Volcano Marathon Pucon Edition

The marathon begins and ends at our main hotel, the Pucon Green Park Hotel, which is located at an elevation of 1,000 feet (300 meters). We start by running through the charming town of Pucon, mostly on smooth asphalt roads. As we continue, we move towards the magnificent Villarrica Volcano, following a country road that includes a mixture of dirt, volcanic ash, lava rocks, and small pebbles. When we reach the halfway point, we reach the highest elevation of the race, which is 5,300 feet (1,600 meters). From there, we start descending and make our way back to the Green Park Hotel. Throughout the marathon, we ascend a total of 4,300 feet (1,300 meters) and descend the same amount.
