I want to make sure to remind all of those interested in the 2016 Inca Trail Marathon to Machu Picchu the following: The permits will be going on sale in about 2 months for 2016 Inca Trail Marathon slots. These are sold on a first come first serve basis and once sales begin, we expect them to sell out fast for the dates of the Inca Trail Marathon. This could be in as little as a couple of weeks to maybe 5 or 6 weeks. Every year it seems like they sell out earlier and earlier. This year they sold out on Feb 10th for our July 2015 race. This means you will want to get registered soon to avoid missing on on the opportunity for the 2016 race. In addition, permits cannot be transferred to another person or refunded for any reason, so once they are gone, that is it. We always have to turn people away that come to us too late looking for entry. Please avoid disappointment and plan ahead by registering early. If you are registered with us before permits go on sale, then we can buy your permit right away when the sales open for the 2016 season to secure your spot.
