the race
PATAGONMAN is an unforgettable journey through one of the most amazing natural settings of the world. The weather is 100% unpredictable, but the prize at the finish line is absolutely worth it. When crossing the finish line, the athletes will receive not only a medal but also the biggest sense of accomplishment that a triathlete can feel.
It's more about the journey than about the time it takes you to complete the race. This is the type of race where you find yourself as you really are. It is as much a physical race as it is a spiritual ride. This is a triathlon for the ones who have found their real love for the sport, for those who have endured in "full iron" or at least "half iron" distance triathlons.
It will be tough and it will be beautiful
courses
PATAGONMAN course runs point-to-point, or fjord to lake. It starts before sunrise in the Aysen Fjord, where the athletes must jump from a ferryboat into the icing cold water, to swim 3.8 kilometers toward Puerto Chacabuco where they can exit the water and find their bikes in the first transition area (T1). From there, they ride 180 kilometers into the windy, winding and hilly road of the famous Carretera Austral to Cerro Castillo, one of the most scenic postcards of Patagonia where they can leave their bikes in the second transition area (T2). From there, they run 42.2 kilometers of dirt trail and rubble road following the Ibanez River through forest, next to beautiful lakes and waterfalls all the way to the General Carrera Lake, another landmark of the region.
"One of my biggest fears was to jump from the ferry into the cold and dark water, but one of the biggest challenges of Patagonman was the wind. I was blown away by the landscapes. Well organized race with breathtaking course".
