9-Day Running Adventure in Patagonia (2025)

This is an international running adventure. A valid passport is required for participation. Though every country is different, a good rule to follow is that your passport should not expire within 6 months of your planned travel.

We do not anticipate that you will need a visa. However, visa requirements vary by country and by nationality. If you are unsure, please reach out to us and we will help you determine whether you will need to apply for a visa at all, in advance, or on arrival.

We typically have 3-star lodging booked for you. Rooms will be comfortable, clean, and safe, but with no frills; a place that you would feel ok relaxing in!

On some adventures, we have alternative lodging like glamping tents.

From solo travelers to groups, teens to the silver-haired, seasoned thrill-seekers to those ready to step out of their comfort zone for the first time - these trips offer an experience for everyone. Our past adventurers come from all walks of life but all share a love of life and a willingness to challenge themselves.

Seriously. Don't be afraid to come alone. You are sure to leave with new friends, new confidence, and approximately 800 photos of moments that took your breath away!

Our days start between 6:30-7:00 am for breakfast before we head out to run the trails. Expect to have a few hours of free time each afternoon to explore the towns we visit and take in the grandeur of the landscape. Our goal is to have enough adventure to fill your days without feeling rushed from location to location.

In addition, all trip will have 2 free evenings- you'll be able to walk around town and maybe stop by that cute pub you passed earlier in the day for dinner!

Please fill out your traveler information in Run Signup after you register so that we can make plans successfully.

If you have a particularly specific or complex dietary requirement, please reach out to us. While we cannot guarantee full accommodations, we'll always try our best!

There are no age restrictions for attending these running trips. As long as you are comfortable with the runs and activities, we'll be glad to have you whether you're 12 or 112 years old!

Some of our trips do involve alcohol-oriented events like whiskey tastings, so please keep this in mind. For activity-specific restrictions, read below:

Patagonia Trips: The glacier hike is restricted to ages 64 and under. Individuals 65 and older are not permitted to participate, but we will try to find an alternate activity for them.

Ireland Trips: The whiskey-tasting event is 21+

While much of these trips is spent in the great outdoors, there's still a level of risk with any travel. Here's what we can do to limit that risk:

First, While we will no longer require the vaccine, we strongly encourage everyone traveling with us to make sure you're aware of the Covid-19 travel restrictions of each country you will visit or pass through on a layover.

Second, we have a staff medic on each trip. Please let us know right away if you have any symptoms or just need a test for travel purposes. They will be able to help you locate and schedule Covid testing as needed. We will also have rapid tests and masks on hand.

Lastly, staying healthy is a group effort. We ask all our adventurers to respect each other's boundaries and preferences. If you remain unsure of the risks, we encourage you to wait to take a trip until you feel confident joining us!

These trips are meant to challenge you. That being said, we welcome runners of various levels and will support you toward the finish line.

Each day we’ll be running/hiking between 7-12K (approx. 3-6 miles). Most of these runs will have a decent amount of elevation gain. It is not uncommon for us to walk the uphill portions and run when the terrain is flat or downhill.

We plan for runners to maintain at least a 20-minute trail pace on these runs. If we believe this pace becomes too difficult for a runner, we may ask them to sit out a run or offer a shorter course for them.

This is your vacation- you should do what you want!

If you want to take a break for a day or two, then by all means do it. Our goal is to make sure you have the best possible experience on the trails, whatever that means for you.

There are no aid stations in these trail runs.

Most adventurers choose to wear a hydration backpack or carry a water bottle in hand (along with a few gels or other snacks as needed).

You are required to bring your own hydration system. Our team loves the hydration options developed by Nathan Sports

If you are lucky, you’ll get to see some local wildlife (Moose, goats, whales, oh my!) We will be visiting wild places and encounters with animals are always a possibility. However, we will be on well-traveled trails which tend to keep the animals away.

All trips partner with expert guides from the area to provide tips on staying safe on the trails. Mosquitos will vary greatly with the climate and even change year to year. We recommend packing mosquito repellent.

If you want to bring a partner to the event that doesn’t want to participate in the runs, that’s totally fine. They'll still get to join in the daily activities and explore the destination - just not on the trails.

Just sign up for the event as a regular participant, but let us know in the registration notes that your partner is not running.

Each trip is different - expect a range of activities like historical tours, boat cruises, hands-on workshops, and more!
