Ayni Andean Race 2025

This isn't just a simple running event we're offering you; it's what you might call "one heck of an adventure" 🤠. Welcome to the Ayni Andean Race, a multisport stage race in Bolivia 🇧🇴 that will leave you with unforgettable memories when you return home 🤯. What's in store: 6 stages, 3 disciplines, 2 regions 🌎, and of course, a ton of fun. Let's get going! ✈️ For the first stage, you'll start off gently (or not) with 4 km of kayaking 🚣‍♀️ on Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake 👩‍🏫. At 3,800 meters altitude, where the breathtaking scenery is "literally" breath-taking 😵. For the second stage, swap your paddle for some sneakers. 18 km of trail running 🏃‍♀️ along the lake's shores, between trails and panoramic views 👀. Your heart might hate you, but your eyes will thank you... 😂 You're already halfway through your journey, now for the third stage, 50 km of mountain biking 🚴‍♂️. Brace yourself for pedaling through grueling climbs and steep descents; you'll understand why Bolivia is anything but flat! 😅 For stage 4, head to the Salar de Uyuni for 12 km of trail running on the world's largest salt flat 😍. A surreal landscape, endlessly white. Fifth stage, you're back on it with 40 km of mountain biking across the salt. The terrain may be flat, but it's tricky. The salt sticks, it grinds, and it wears down the tires 😤. But for the sensation of riding on another planet, it’s worth it, right? 😎 Before wrapping up this beautiful journey, you do get a well-deserved rest day! 😴 Transition to the village of Una, at the foot of Illimani ⛰️. A chance to recharge your batteries and patch up any blisters 🩹. Stage 6, the final stretch with 15 km of trail running in the mountains. The scenery is magnificent; Illimani is something special! 🔥 It's tough, it's beautiful, it's the Ayni Andean Race... On the last day, celebrate your survival victory at the closing ceremony in the village of Una 🌳. Trophies for the best, memories for everyone! 🏆

If you want to soak up a bit more of Bolivia, head to La Paz and explore the Valley of the Moon with its dramatic rock formations. Visit the stunning Laguna Colorada, famous for its spectacular red hues and unique wildlife 🫶, or delve into history by exploring the mysterious site of Tiahuanaco, one of the oldest civilizations in South America! 🗺️
