Rodrigo “Canuto” Errazuriz, one of the race’s two directors, sends the runners off. From this point on, the group would be traveling away from the Andes, and spending the next four days crossing the country towards the Pacific Ocean. (Note: the second of the two aforementioned race directors is Juan Carlos Politis Huidobro.) Photo: Kirsten Kortebein
