Jordan

Ultra X Jordan (pre­vi­ously the Wadi Rum Ultra) takes par­ti­cipants through the land of Lawrence of Ara­bia. The mys­tic­al course takes com­pet­it­ors through his­tor­ic sites, into dra­mat­ic Wadis and over mag­ni­fi­cent sand dunes.

Wadi Rum’s nick­name is ‘the val­ley of the moon’ and you will see why.

Its land­scape, char­ac­ter­ized by unique tower­ing rock form­a­tions will truly blow you away, as will the chal­lenge. As loc­a­tions go, this place is unrivaled in its beauty.

Import­ant Inform­a­tion

The liv­ing accom­mod­a­tion con­sists of a biv­ou­ac or tent shared by between 2–8 com­pet­it­ors.

Com­pet­it­ors will have to carry essen­tial safety equip­ment (such as water bottles, gels, basic med­ic­al kits, a whistle etc.) in their ruck­sacks but unlike oth­er races they will only need to carry their daily race pro­vi­sions as lug­gage is trans­por­ted for com­pet­it­ors between camps. Lug­gage must weigh less than 14 kg per com­pet­it­or.

You will need to be self suf­fi­cient from Sunday 6th Octo­ber to lunch­time on Fri­day 11th Octo­ber.

Between those dates you must provide all your own food. Due to weight, dehyd­rated or freeze dried food is recom­men­ded.

 

Down­load Full Inform­a­tion
I’ve done a few ultras around the world but the beauty of Wadi Rum really sets it apart from the rest. The rock form­a­tions look like they have been care­fully sculp­ted by man, it’s impossible to believe they’re just the product of mil­lions of years of erosion.

At night the stars are incred­ible. It’s nice and cool in the early morn­ing but at mid­day depend­ing on where you are on the course, it feels like you’re on Mars. I loved this event.
