Is an Ultra for Anyone and Everyone!

• Distance: The 6.7km loop is designed to be achievable, even for beginners, as long as you're consistent.
• Endurance: It’s the ultimate, forgiving endurance event—you’re only ever an hour away from your crew, your chair, and your food.

Its Simplicity is its Charm

• Time Limit: Every hour, on the hour, a bell rings. You have 6.7km to get back, or you're out.
• Race Type: It's not about speed: it's about consistency, pace, camaraderie and endurance.
• Finish Line: It’s a race with no predetermined distance or finish line. It only ends when there is one person left standing.

A Location Like No Other
