It is very important to consider the following point as a priority when preparing for the event. Patagonian International Marathon^® takes place far from cities, in the heart of Southern Chilean Patagonia. Here, the weather conditions may force you to wear additional layers for thermal protection. Since all participants have different tolerances to cold weather, it is the responsibility of each runner to evaluate and select his/her personal equipment. Properly selecting your clothing for the race will improve your experience and personal well-being during the race.

We recommend that all participants arrive to the Staring Line with various clothing options, opting to make a final decision moments before the race. Any items that are personally deemed unnecessary can be stored in your Final Bag, which can be delivered at the Starting Line with the official bag custodial of the event (you will be given a special sticker to identify your bag within your runner’s kit) and then collected at the Finish Line.

The following items are a few recommendations that we invite you to consider and have available with you on the day of the race:
