Wow, every now and then there comes a race that excites me. This one is one of them. The Cordillera Mountain Marathon: 42k Sky Marathon and 11k Trail run. (Make sure to watch the video below.)

The marathon 42k and the 11k trail run will be the highest running event in the country, with over 60% of the course above 2000m above sea level.
