The thirteenth edition of Patagonian International Marathon^® will take place on Saturday, 6 September, 2025. It will feature three race distances: marathon (42km), half-marathon (21km), and 10km..

Patagonian International Marathon^® will take place in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region, Providence of Última Esperanza (Last Hope), Commune Torres del Paine. The region’s capital is Punta Arenas, and the closest city to the marathon’s race zone is Puerto Natales. The routes for the 2025 edition are located to the SW of Torres del Paine National Park.

The three race distances share a common Finish Line.

All race distances in Patagonian International Marathon^® are designed using the vehicular roads leading to the national park, which have either a smooth gravel surface or paved asphalt. The terrain is mid-mountain, so the roads are very winding, with curves and permanent slope changes.

The climate in Patagonia is characterized by highly variable and unpredictable weather conditions in all four seasons; however, in the month of September, which is the date for the event, spring will be on the way! Gradually, the green begins to return after a hard winter. Therefore, you can expect average temperatures between 2 and 10°C, with absolutes maximums even reaching 15°C. Even though it will not be during the traditional season of strong and persistent winds, and going beyond more than just statistics, there is always the possibility that Patagonia will surprise us with some form of a storm to show us her power! Therefore, you must come prepared to confront every possibility! The use of adequate clothing will be fundamental in order to enjoy your experience in these latitudes.

There will be a maximum of 7 hours to complete the 42K, in addition to intermediate cut-off points, with the first being at 21km and then again at 31km from the starting line. Therefore, you must complete these sections based on the following schedule:

• 42K: Mirador Nordenskjold – 13:30
• 42K & 21K: Puente Negro – 16:00

In order to participate in either the 42K or 21K, you must be at least 18 years old by 6 September 2025. In order to participate in the 10K, you must be at least 16 years old by 6 September 2025.
