<h3><strong>Track and map of Inca Marathon</strong></h3>
<p>The circuit travels through part of the Inca Trail in the Vilcabamba Valley to Cocalmayo in the West-East direction in the Inca Trail. The accumulated elevation will be: 1250 m (full), 350 m (half) and 120 m (10 k). Maximum altitude will be 4450 m in the marathon, 2900 m in the half marathon and approximately 2300 m in the 10 k.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Previously there will be several days of training as contact with the terrain and acclimatization.</p>
<p>The surface is a mixture of dirt tracks and trails in various environments; humid rainforest up to 2500 m, drier heath forest, up to 3500 m and rockier Andean landscape up to 4500 m, so multipurpose trail footwear is recommended. The accumulated elevation is significant but easily affordable in the program.</p>
<h3><strong>Equipment of Inca Marathon</strong></h3>
<p>The organization has looked for the best dates to enjoy suitable temperatures in May-June, away from the heat of the northern hemisphere and spring storms. Although the weather is never under control, even so, the environmental conditions could vary.</p>
<p>A temperature is expected that could vary from 5&ordm;C at the beginning, around 2&ordm;C at the highest pass, to 25&ordm;C at the finish line. The organization will put a clothing delivery point in case a participant wants to get rid of a winter cap, jacket, etc.</p>
<p>A personalized jacket and a number with your name are provided.</p>
