Beyond the running
The table. The conversation. The time in between.
Lunch that turns into a conversation. A shared table after a day outdoors. An afternoon with nowhere else to rush to. These are part of the journey too.
A place at the tableLunch, togetherRoom to slow down
Photographs from earlier trips, shared as atmosphere references. They do not identify confirmed Further venues or menus. Room and accommodation photographs are still to come.
Who it’s for
You don’t need to be fast. You need to be ready.
Five proposed running days, with planning distances from 6 to 12 kilometres, sit within a nine-day journey. Arrival, transfers, recovery and the glacier day have their own pace. Distances and climbs are reference figures from the working itinerary, not final surveyed Further routes.
You need to be able to
Be comfortable running around ten kilometres
Get up the next morning and do it again
Walk when walking is the right call
Be prepared for remote settings and follow the team’s guidance
You don’t need to
Have run an ultra, or even a marathon
Run fast or have a competitive running background
Chase a time or a ranking
Decide your suitability alone: discuss your readiness with us
The rhythm of a running day
07:30Breakfast at the house
09:00Out running with the team
12:00Lunch, often outdoors and in the field
15:00Free afternoon, transfer or activity
21:00Dinner together, at one long table
An illustration, not fixed departure times. Arrival, flight transfer, glacier and departure days follow a different rhythm. Some evenings are group dinners; others are free for you to choose.
Who’s behind it
The two of us build it, and we don’t do it alone.
Further begins with two people from Patagonia, bringing together local tourism operations and experience building new ventures. We are starting where we come from, with the ambition to create running journeys in other places too.
Manuel EcheverriaCo-founder · Bariloche
A reference in Argentine tourism and recreation. He started out as a ski instructor and has run mountain lodges across several ranges since. He directed the Cruce Andino between Bariloche and Chile, and today leads Circe Club del Lago and the camps at Lago Falkner. For years he has organised the Calafate and Iguazú 21K, the Bariloche Running Ultra Trail, and running routes from Chile down to El Calafate.
Gustavo VinacuaCo-founder · Madrid
Born and raised in Bariloche, based in Madrid for the past thirty years. He has spent his career helping organisations build new businesses and navigate deep change, and now builds ventures at the intersection of AI, sustainability and impact. Running arrived late and quickly became more than a sport: after the Madrid Marathon he keeps looking for new trails — the Pyrenees, the sierra outside Madrid, and home in Patagonia.
“The best conversations, ideas and perspectives tend to show up while moving through nature.” That is where Further came from.
