Description:

UTCB is a mountain race in the heart of the Cordillera Blanca (white range) on Huaraz, Peru. Surrounded by pikes of more than 5,500 meters above sea level.

In 2014, the Ultra Trail Cordillera Blanc was born in search of bringing the sport of trail running to the most emblematic region for mountain sports, Ancash, with the intention of offering trips through the most impressive places of the Cordillera Blanca. In the coming years, the UTCB will seek to present different routes with a unique and unforgettable meaning.
