MACHU PICCHU EPIC XC MARATHON
The Machu Picchu Epic XC Marathon is one of the most unique races in the world, linking the best of MTB stage racing with the tourist and archaeological attractions of Cusco. The start and finish vary according to the stage. Competitors will ride their bikes from the mountains to the jungle, through the different Inca towns drawing the Route of the Gods towards the ruins of Machu Picchu.
You will ride through the different Inca towns along “the Route of the Gods”, and towards the ruins of Machu Picchu.
The race has as its initial base the Imperial City in Cusco, then Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu Pueblo. You can participate in 2, 4 or all 5 stages.
Basic mechanical service, which includes minor adjustments, is included at no additional cost. However, it is important to note that major adjustments, such as assembling or disassembling the bike, as well as more complex tune-ups, each have an additional cost that is paid directly on site.
The entry options are (1) race only or (2) with logistics and hotels included. If you do not know Cusco, we recommend registration with logistics, since the start and returns are outside the city and various transfer services (buses & trains) are required.
Suitable for amateurs as well as professionals.
