Ayni Andean Race is a
multi-stage, multi-sport, and solidarity race.
This Multi-Sport race will take place twice a year in Bolivia, on the Andean Altiplano, located between 3,600 meters and 4,000 meters above sea level.
This race will be contested individually or in teams of two, over 6 sports stages, ranging from 5 to 50 km. It will last 9 days and take place in three different regions of Bolivia. During these stages, competitors will progress by trail running, mountain biking, canoeing, and running.
The aim of this race is to create an exceptional course in the Bolivian Andes, between the mythical Lake Titicaca and the exceptional Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. This race will conclude with a unique trail at the foot of the majestic Illimani, guardian of the city of La Paz.
This race will take you to major and unique sites worldwide through environmentally friendly sports practices and respect for local populations.
By participating in this sporting event, competitors contribute to supporting local communities. We work with various communities on the high plains and at the foot of the Royal Cordillera. We will define the aids and donations that will be made throughout this solidarity race by the competitors themselves.
The objective of this race is to enjoy major and unique sites worldwide, from a perspective quite different from tourist circuits—a sporting, solidarity-focused view, in respect for the environment and its people. Ayni aims to be an original promotion of Bolivia through clean sports and sustainable tourism.
