Features and Requirements of the 360º The Challenge

360º The Challenge is an individual mountain event held in a self-sufficiency format. The objective of this challenge is to complete a specific course without exceeding the established time limit. Participation in this modality is strictly individual. Participants must master the necessary techniques and have the appropriate preparation to face this challenge: proficiency in navigation and orientation techniques, readiness to endure changing natural conditions, the ability to assist other runners in case of need, and tolerance to fatigue, sleep deprivation, and nutritional issues.

The course will not be marked (unmarked). Runners must follow the track provided by the organization in the days leading up to the race. The event must be completed in a semi-self-sufficiency format. Participants will manage their supplies and rest periods as they see fit. Throughout the course, the organization will provide a series of ‘life bases’ (base camps) where participants will have access to a rest area and food free of charge. Purchasing supplies at any other establishment open to the public during the route is permitted, provided it is at the participants’ own expense. External assistance is only allowed at the official life bases. It is strictly prohibited at any other point along the course, and any runner committing this infraction will be penalized.
