It was one of those ”good news-bad news” kinda days.

Actually I first got the “bad news” – the Galapagos Marathon that we were planning to attend, to run in the footsteps of Darwin -  has been cancelled. It wasn’t fun to deliver that message to clients. And I was really disappointed. I’d visited Ecuador with my father last year, and was looking forward to returning (and running at a much lower elevation than Quito!)

However, the race directors reassured me that they’re doing everything they can to ensure that the race happens in 2014. (So mark your calendars now!)

Then, a few emails later, my mood swung the other way when I received an invitation to the Patagonian Marathon, a group of races run within  the glorious Torres del Paine national park.

Scheduled for September 29, 2012, the race includes a marathon but also a 10km, a half-marathon, and an ultramarathon of 63km! There really is something for all runners there.

Not to mention the breathtaking views – looking UP at some of the tallest peaks in South America. Yes, the race is very near sea level, so we won’t need to break out the hyperbaric chambers for it.

Please call or email if you’d like more information about this once in a lifetime run.
