Ultra X 110 Rwanda is a multi-stage ultra marathon that takes place over two days around northern Rwanda in the districts of Burera and Musanze.
The race takes place near the Volcanoes National Park (where the famous mountain gorillas are based) and the twin lakes: Lake Ruhondo and Lake Burera. This course will take you on a sensory journey, over gentle hills and valleys, through traditional coffee and banana fields with lush, jungle like vegetation and over a stunning lake peninsula. Runners will be supported by the local population along a route with views of Rwanda’s five iconic volcanoes: Mt Muhabura, Mt Sabyinyo, Mt Karisimbi, Mt Bisoke and Mt Gahinga.
If you are looking to combine a race with a holiday, you have plenty of options. Competitors can choose from an Ultra X / Tugende Kigali memorial tour & safari excursion add on (in Akagera National Park) at registration, visiting the gorillas or meandering through the streets and markets of Kigali.
Ultra X 50 Rwanda takes place on the second day (Sunday) of Ultra X 110 Rwanda.
The Race
Itinerary
What happens when you register
Once you have registered for a race;
You will be sent an email inviting you to a call with a member of our team. This is by no means mandatory but it will allow you to ask us any questions you may have regarding the event, training, food, equipment and anything else at all.
You will be asked if you would like to be added to the competitor Facebook group. Of course you do not have to but they are a great way to get to know your fellow competitors before you reach the start line.
You will be invited to a number of short video calls where we’ll go through kit/equipment, food and pre-event preparation. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you like.
Cut offs
We have very relaxed cut offs. To us, it’s not about what time you get, it’s the adventure you have along the way. On average you will have between 2hrs 30 mins to complete each 10km (in-between checkpoints). Exact race cut-offs can be found in the race information pack.
If you don’t finish
In the scenario that you cannot finish a stage at one of our events, you will be offered entry into the following edition of the race at half price. You will not receive a finishers medal or official result.
