In the year 2012, Patagonian International Marathon® became the first marathon to take place in Torres del Paine National Park.

Patagonian International Marathon® is part of the Racing Patagonia® project, created in the year 2002. Since its origin, this project searches to promote Chilean Patagonia around the world and contribute to sustainable development of tourism and the local community.
