Ultra Panamá takes place in Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama.

Ultra Panamá has 4 distances: 10K, 26K, 42K, and 84K. The longest is the 84K.

No: Ultra Panamá is an independent race, not part of a circuit such as the UTMB World Series or the Golden Trail Series.

For the 84K, plan around 20 weeks of specific training if you already run regularly. For the 10K, about 8 weeks are enough. Build up long runs with climbing and add two short strength sessions a week.

It is not tagged as a technical race in our data, so check the course profile on the official website and train on trails with climbing like the race’s.

For its terrain, choose shoes with good grip and enough cushioning for the distance. Good options: Hoka Mafate 5, The North Face Altamesa 500 v2, and Altra Olympus 275 HiLo. You will find them, and the rest of the gear, in “How to prepare” below.

Registration is on the official website (ultrapanamatrailseries.com). Popular races sell out, so check the dates early, and mark it as “I want to register” at the top of this page to keep it in your races.
