1. Lottery Registration

​​​

Slots for each edition of PATAGONMAN are primarily allocated through two lottery processes.

There are two lotteries:

• First Lottery: February (open for two weeks – results announced in March)

• Second Lottery: April (open for two weeks – results announced in May)

Each lottery supports a different charity project in the Aysén Region.

This is not a first-come, first-served event. All athletes who enter the lottery during the open registration window have an equal chance in the draw.

​

Increased Chances for Returning Applicants

Athletes who applied in previous years without being selected will receive additional chances in the draw:

• Second application: double chances

• Third application: triple chances
  …and so on.

While this does not guarantee a slot, it significantly improves the odds compared to first-time applicants.

​

Lottery Fee

• USD $12 per lottery ticket

• 100% of the amount collected (minus transaction costs) is donated to charity

• Lottery fees are non-refundable

 

If You Are Selected

If you are selected in the draw, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to complete your registration.

• You will have 7 days to finalize registration and payment

• If registration is not completed within this time, the slot will be reassigned to an athlete on the runners-up list

Race entry fee: USD $975
Your slot is not confirmed until full payment is completed.
A valid credit card is required.

​​

2. Direct Registration via Social Commitment

​​​

For 2026, PATAGONMAN offers a limited number of direct registration slots for athletes who wish to commit to a meaningful social impact.

​

How It Works

Athletes may register directly, without entering the lottery, by committing a minimum donation of USD $1,000 to one of the social organizations proposed by the race.

• Direct registrations are first-come, first-served

• Athletes must pay the standard race entry fee at the time of registration (USD $975)

• During the registration process, athletes must:

  • Choose one of the approved social organizations

  • Declare the total donation amount they commit to raise 

NO donation payment is required at the time of registration.

​

Fundraising & Payment Conditions

• Athletes have until October 31st, 2026 to fundraise and pay their committed donation

• Full payment of the committed donation must be completed no later than November 1st, 2026

Failure to complete the full donation by this deadline will result in:

• Denial of participation in the event

• No refund of the race registration fee

 

Social Organizations You Can Support

Athletes registering through the direct registration pathway may choose to support one of the following organizations:

 

1. TriAysén

TriAysén is the first and only triathlon club in the Aysén Region.
Created under the wing of PATAGONMAN and still actively supported by the race, it provides access to sport and mentorship for young athletes in a remote area facing a severe mental health crisis, where isolation and limited resources make structured physical activity and community support more necessary than ever.

​

2. Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology (KCCO)

KCCO is a leading African non-profit organization dedicated to preventing avoidable blindness and improving access to quality eye care across East Africa.
Through community-based programs, training of local professionals, and scalable healthcare models, KCCO has restored sight and transformed lives in some of the most vulnerable communities.

 

3. Rewilding Chile

Rewilding Chile works to restore and protect native ecosystems in Patagonia through large-scale conservation, ecosystem restoration, species protection, and community engagement.
Its mission is to reverse biodiversity loss while promoting a sustainable relationship between people and nature in one of the world’s most pristine regions.
