On February 11, 2024, Comodoro Rivadavia will host the second edition of the Comodoro Ultra Trail, one of Argentina’s most exciting mountain races. Known as the National Capital of Oil and Foreign Communities, Comodoro Rivadavia is the largest city in southern Argentine Patagonia and offers the perfect setting for this unique trail running event.
Explore the Rugged Beauty of Rocas Coloradas
The Comodoro Ultra Trail will take place in the Rocas Coloradas Protected Natural Area, a stunning landscape that merges the vast Patagonian steppe with the Argentine Sea. This incredible terrain offers participants breathtaking views and a mix of challenging conditions, from rugged trails to coastal stretches. Runners will also face the unpredictable Patagonian wind, which can either help or hinder their progress.
The race offers five distance categories, each designed to challenge different levels of runners:
- 80K Ultra Challenge: A true test of endurance across tough, varied terrain.
- 45K Endurance Run: A long-distance race that pushes participants to their limits.
- 25K Adventure Trail: Perfect for those seeking a challenging, yet manageable run.
- 15K Scenic Race: For runners looking to explore the area without the extreme distances.
- 7K Introductory Run: A great option for newcomers to trail running.
A Unique Trail Running Experience
Runners in each distance will be fully immersed in nature, with the race courses winding through untouched landscapes, sandy beaches, and the demanding ascent to the summit of Pico Salamanca, standing at 550 meters above sea level. With panoramic views of the sea and mountains, the race is an unforgettable experience for any trail running enthusiast.
