HOW TO REGISTER FOR PATAGONMAN 2026

PATAGONMAN is not a first-come, first-served race.
There are two official ways to secure a slot.

Two ways to race PATAGONMAN

​

🟠 1. Lottery Registration

The traditional way

  • Two lotteries per year (February & April)

  • All applicants have the same chance during each lottery

  • Returning applicants increase their odds each year

  • Low entry cost, no social commitment required

👉 Best option if you are flexible, willing to wait, and unable to commit to a fundraising effort.

​​​

🔵 2. Direct Registration via Social Commitment

Limited slots

  • Skip the lottery

  • Commit to a minimum USD 1,000 donation

  • Support meaningful social and environmental projects

  • Registration is confirmed only if the donation commitment is fulfilled before November 2026.

👉 Best option if you want certainty and social impact
