Overview
Held in Punucapa, Valdivia, Region de los Rios, Chile, the Torrencial Chile by UTMB - Oncol 50K took runners through temperate rainforests across a 64-kilometer route. The course packed 1688 meters of elevation gain, working out to 26.4 meters of climbing per kilometer through native woods and species like chusquea quila, nalcas, and copihues.
The defining challenge was the clock. With a 9-hour limit, the cut-off was tighter than 93% of 50mi races and more generous than only 7%, demanding a sustained pace under 8.4 minutes per kilometer to avoid elimination.
Nimbus organised the event, which drew a substantial pack—bigger than 80% of 50mi fields and smaller than 19%—seeing 132 runners cross the finish line in 2026.
