Description
Ultra X Jordan is a multi-stage ultra marathon that takes place over
five days in the Wadi Rum Desert in Sept/Oct each year.
Ultra X Jordan (previously the Wadi Rum Ultra) takes place in the land of Lawrence of Arabia. The mystical desert course takes competitors past historic sites, into dramatic wadis and over magnificent sand dunes.
An Ultra X race is the ultimate test of preparation. A participant who has planned and trained well will be a successful one. It is just as important that participants calculate their water, electrolyte and food requirements, as it is their pacing during this five day adventure.
This is not a self-supported race. Participants only need to carry their daily provisions of mandatory safety equipment, nutrition, and hydration. Race holdalls are transported between campsites by the organisers and water is resupplied at checkpoints approximately 7km apart. However, weight management is still crucial and runners are advised to only bring items which are essential to their health and comfort.
Ultra X welcomes both runners and walkers. All participants will likely be doing a combination of the two in order to get to the finish line, which is the most important thing.
