““If you’re even considering signing up for this trip, do yourself a favor and put down the deposit right now before it sells out! You won’t regret it!It’s been a few days since getting home from the Patagonia trip and I keep finding myself day dreaming about all the adventures packed into those 9 days. This wasn’t the typical “hike/camp through Patagonia for a week” kind of trip - we got the highlights within the park but also SO. MUCH. MORE. From getting up close and personal with whales and glaciers, to climbing “small rises” for breathtaking views, to running through fields with guanaco herds - each time I thought “this will be the highlight of the trip”, I would be blown away by something new! Being surrounded by such an awesome group of running enthusiasts also added to the overall experience! The RE team has everything planned out meticulously - this isn’t their first rodeo so just trust them completely and you will have the trip of a lifetime. And yes, their suggested packing list is on point. Also, you may come away with the best pictures you’ve ever seen of yourself running! If your race photos look anything like mine, then that alone is worth the price of the trip!

Patagonia: The name alone gives rise to feelings of wonder and adventure. There are few places on earth with such wild, windswept beauty, and it has attracted intrepid rock climbers and mountaineers for generations. Running is a more novel approach, but it gives us a chance to get up close and personal with this majestic landscape in a different way. The trails and roads are quiet and endless, the pace of life is as relaxed as it comes, and the climate, though fierce at times, makes you feel alive as never before.
Our journey focuses on the fjords, mountains, and lakes between Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine National Park for a week of running & trekking through the awe-inspiring beauty of Patagonia: enjoy a stunning mosaic of golden meadows, lush forest, brilliant glacial lakes, dramatic mountains and rushing rivers. Finish each day with a big feast, plenty of Chilean wine and a warm bed, preparing you for the next incredible day.
Between running, hiking and plenty of chances to explore the lakes and glaciers, this trip is all-action and perfect for anyone with a keen sense of adventure. You don’t have to be a trail runner to go to Patagonia with us, but we guarantee that you’ll leave as one!
ITINERARY
Please note that this itinerary is subject to change due to weather conditions. The weather in Patagonia is notoriously unpredictable, and adjustments may be necessary if we deem a scheduled run or activity unsafe (we always have a plan B, C and usually a D too). High winds occasionally prevent boats from sailing, in which case we will either wait it out or hike out from that location. If you show up with everything on the packing list and an adaptable attitude then you’re going to be fine!

RUNNING REQUIREMENTS
All levels welcome! Daily run maximums are listed on the itinerary and there are no time restrictions. Most runs can be shortened or lengthened if needed. Trail running experience is not required, but some off-road preparation is highly recommended to ensure the best experience. See the run distances and details in the day-by-day itinerary for reference.
Please keep in mind that we will be traveling and running in remote, wild country – though we will be comfortable and well taken care of, a flexible attitude and love of the outdoors is a must!

Insurance could cover the entire cost of your trip!).
