To participate in Ultra Machupicchu The Inca Trail Race 2025 , it is essential that all runners comply with the following commitments:
  1. Knowledge and Preparation:
    • Be fully aware of the length and specifics of the test, as well as the need to be adequately prepared to face it.
  2. Autonomy Capacity:
    • Having acquired, before the race, a real capacity for autonomy in mountain environments, which includes the ability to manage problems that may arise during the race. This includes:
    • Cope with adverse weather conditions, such as cold, wind, fog, rain or snow, without depending on outside help.
    • Independently manage physical or mental problems that may arise, such as severe fatigue, digestive problems, muscle or joint pain, and minor injuries.
  3. Personal Responsibility:
    • Be aware that the role of the organization is not to provide assistance in managing individual problems. The safety of the runner depends largely on his or her ability to adapt and respond to unforeseen situations.
  4. Environmental and Social Awareness:
    • Inform and raise awareness among your companions about the importance of respecting places, people and the rules of the race. The preservation of our environment and harmonious coexistence are essential for the success of the event.
  1. Delivery of Bibs:
    • Race numbers will be given individually to each runner, who must present a photo ID or passport.
  2. Dorsal Positioning:
    • The race number must be worn on the chest or stomach, in a visible manner and in its entirety throughout the race. It must always be positioned above any clothing and, under no circumstances, may it be attached to a backpack (or similar) or to a leg.
  3. Dorsal Integrity:
    • The names and logos of the collaborators must not be modified or hidden at any time.
  4. Access to Services:
    • The race number is the pass required to access the refreshment stations, infirmaries, rest rooms, and to retrieve the dropbags. It is essential to keep it visible at all times.
  5. Dorsal withdrawal:
    • The race number will not be withdrawn unless the runner refuses to obey the instructions of a race official. In the event of abandonment, the race number will be cut off and deactivated.

  1. Definition of Time Barriers:

    • The start cut-off times (time barriers) for the main checkpoints are defined on the maps for each distance and in this event guide. Should changes occur due to exceptional conditions, these new barriers will be notified via social media, email or SMS/text messages.

  2. Calculation of Time Barriers:

    • The maximum authorized time and time barriers will be calculated based on the average effort/kilometer. 

  3. Objective of Time Barriers:

    • These barriers are set up to allow participants to reach the finish line within the maximum time allowed, taking into account possible stops for food and rest. To continue in the race, participants must leave the checkpoint before the set time limit, regardless of the time of arrival at the checkpoint.

  4. Consequences of not complying with time barriers:

    • All runners who abandon the race, are stopped by the organization or are outside the official time barriers will not be able to continue. In this case, their bib will be cut off and they will be transported back to the event area by the organization.

  5. Repatriation points:

    • The time barriers will also function as repatriation points, where the organization will provide transportation to the race epicenter area. If a runner drops out at other points of the course (except for health reasons), repatriation will be subject to the availability of race logistics.

If a rider decides to abandon between two checkpoints, he/she must reach the next checkpoint to communicate his/her decision.
