Reading Time: 2 minutes

Ultra X Jordan 2020 will be the 5th anniversary of this epic race and we think a good time for it to have its first ‘birthday’. To celebrate, this Anniversary Edition will be slightly different…

Those joining us for the 2020 race can expect:

  • ‘The Long Stage’ to be the longest ever(Fear not however, it will ‘only’ be jumping a few kilometres (well 5km to be exact) to around 73km in total)
  • Special commemorative anniversary medals for all finishers(As always, those that finish the event in under 30 hours will receive a white ribbon, rather than a blue ribbon)

The Anniversary Edition will also be our biggest race ever, with over 150 of you taking to the dunes of Wadi Rum, the land of Lawrence of Arabia.

Here is a brief run-through of the week for those unfamiliar:
