Summer 1980 (#80) Nor-Cal Running Review A 26 mile, 385 yard marathon sanctioned by Federacion De Atletism The INCA TR A I L M A R A T H O N is not the invention of entrepreneurs, but rather, it is the dream of a few long distance runners, who like yourself, crave more excitement from their running. The best place to hold a rigorous high altitude race is in the beautiful, yet awesome Peruvian Alps. From Urcos to Cuzco, 11,000 feet above sea level in the Peruvian highlands, the marathon route often parallels the original Inca Trail used by Inca runners to bring news to the Inca monarch residing in Cuzco. Under the direction of an experienced race director, the M A R A T H O N will provide runners with aids they have come to expect when racing: split times, water and E.R.G. stops, crowd and traffic control, computerized race results and for this event, a spectacular fiesta at the end of the race. W e invite you to join runners from all over the world in this annual marathon which takes place on Sept. 28, 1980. Many prizes and trophies will be awarded to winners in their respective catagories. But to the winners and finishers will go the knowledge that they have entered the pantheon reserved only for Olympians. In order to provide contestants with the best deal in travel and accommodations, travel specialists, Hemphill-Harris Travel Corporation will arrange low-cost packages from three gateway cities: Ne w York, Miami and Los Angeles. Because every runner must acclimatize to the high altitude, they will spend two fun-filled weeks in Peru. Insuring a trouble-free run and an unforgettable trip, all arrangements have been made for hotels, meals and transportation. Also available are excursions to other Peruvian cities and points of interest.
