As we have probably read, Inca Marathon is one of the toughest, if not the hardest marathon out there. For me, it was the combined trekking in the altitude and the technical descent was the grueling part, but yes, the last half, I was able to run/walk with sore quads and hamstrings. Despite all that, we were rewarded with awesome, just majestic views of the mountains and valleys and streams. You can’t beat that.
And many thanks to the organizer of the group, Apolo, the team leader, Abelardo and the staff, the horses and mules, of Wild Marathon that made these all happen. They did a fantastic job, organizing every detail. The hotels, the restaurants, the food that was prepared along the way, the courteous staff and of course, the cultural aspect, made this trip a memorable experience.
I have actually signed up another trip with them, on their Kilimassai marathon in Africa July 2025. This is how much I trust them.
