Ayni Andean Race 2025

This is not just a simple running event we're about to offer you, it's what we might call "a hell of an adventure"! 🤠

Welcome to the Ayni Andean Race, a stage race multisport event in Bolivia 🇧🇴 that will leave you with beautiful memories upon returning from the trip 🤯. On the agenda: 6 stages, 3 disciplines, 2 regions 🌎, and of course, a lot of fun. Ready for take-off! ✈️ For the first stage, you start smooth (or not) with 4 km of kayaking 🚣‍♀️ on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world 👩‍🏫. At 3,800 meters altitude, for once, the landscapes are "literally" breathtaking 😵. For the second stage, you swap the paddle for sneakers. 18 km of trail running 🏃‍♀️ on the shores of the lake, between trails and panoramic views 👀. Your cardio will hate you, but your eyes will thank you... 😂 You're already halfway through your journey, it's time for the third stage, 50 km of mountain biking 🚴‍♂️. Expect to pedal between hellish climbs and steep descents, you'll understand why they say Bolivia isn't flat! 😅 For the stage 4, head to the Salar de Uyuni for 12 km of trail running on the world's largest salt flat 😍. A surreal landscape, white as far as the eye can see. Fifth stage, you do it again with 40 km of mountain biking on the salt. A flat, but treacherous terrain. Salt is sticky, crunchy, and wears down the tires 😤. But for the feeling of riding on another planet, it's worth it, right? 😎 Before ending this beautiful trip, you will have a well-deserved rest day! 😴 Transition to the village of Una, at the foot of Illimani ⛰️. A chance to recharge your batteries and treat blisters 🩹. Stage 6, the final stretch with 15 km of trail running in the mountain. The scenery is magnificent, the Illimani is something else! 🔥 It's hard, it's beautiful, it's the Ayni Andean Race... On the last day, you celebrate your survival victory during the closing ceremony in the village of Una 🌳. Trophies for the best, memories for all! 🏆
