VCHALLENGES42K Bogotá

VCHALLENGES42K Bogotá is the full marathon (42.195 km) of the VChallenges series, billed by its organizers as the marathon of Bogotá, Colombia. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday, November 29, with the start at 6:30 a.m. from Parque Obelisco (Av. Esperanza, Carrera 57) in Bogotá. The race is run at the city's high altitude of roughly 2,600 meters, which makes pacing and acclimatization important for runners. The organizers state the course is certified over the 42.195 km marathon distance and cap the field at 4,000 participants, with a course time limit of 5 hours 30 minutes. Registration is open through staged pricing phases (Fieles and Phases I-IV), and kit pickup takes place the day before the race at Plaza Central. Age categories include Abierta (18-39), Master (40-49) and Plus (50+).
