Plan Atacama Crossing
Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.
- Listed edition
- Apr 4, 2027 – Apr 10, 2027
- Format
- Stage Race
- Distance
- 250 km over 6 stages
- Local start time
- 8:00 AM Sunday
- Duration / cutoff
- Not recorded — check the organizer
- Crew and pacers
- No crews or pacers. Outside assistance is banned: taking food from outsiders costs a 2-hour penalty per incident, accepting outside transport means disqualification, and nobody, not even a teammate, may carry a runner’s gear. Family and friends follow along through the daily updates and GPS tracking on the race website.
- Drop bags
- None. Everything for the week goes into the backpack before Stage 1. RacingThePlanet stores one bag for each runner during the race, and the only extra item it moves between camps is a personal tent for runners who bring one.
