FAQ
Rules and special prizes
Who gets a cash prize?
Only the top 3 women and top 3 men in the overall ranking of each distance. Age groups and the Pairs category do not receive cash.
How is the Walkers category ranked?
Half marathon walkers cover the route accompanied by guides and are ranked by age within the half marathon standings.
How is the Pairs category awarded?
Medals for the first three pairs who finish the course in compliance with the rules, in-kind or sponsor prizes subject to availability, and a finisher medal for each teammate. A runner entered in Pairs is ranked only in that category, never in the individual overall or age-group rankings.
What special prizes has the race offered?
- Latin American Trail Circuit: in 2025 the marathon was the qualifying distance. The female and male overall winners traveled to the Andes Race in Peru, with Bogotá–Lima–Bogotá flights, two days of accommodation and meals, and a race entry.
- World Championships: in 2025 the first Colombian woman and man in the 80K qualified for the Trail and Mountain Running World Championships in Spain, with the paperwork handled by the Colombian Athletics Federation.
What is raffled?
The draws take place during the ceremony among all runners who started, in any distance. In 2025 the prizes included a COROS APEX 2 Pro watch and a pair of HOKA shoes; in 2026, an entry to the next edition.
What happens to prizes after a penalty?
If a penalty changes the rankings, the runner must return any prizes, mentions, trophies or medals, which then go to whoever is entitled under the new rankings. This does not apply to prize draws. A disqualified runner is not eligible for prize draws. See the race rules.
Can I transfer or defer an entry I won?
Complimentary, raffled or prize entries are valid only for the year assigned, are personal and non-transferable (unless the terms of the draw or prize say otherwise) and cannot be deferred.
