Ultra X Jordan

The premier desert ultra. Ultra X Jordan is now in its 8th year, and continues to be one of the best ultra marathons on planet Earth. This is a multi-stage event where you will cover 220km over 5 days. You can expect vast, breathtaking desert scenery, some technical sections, and lots and lots of sand. Completing this will be the achievement of a lifetime, and lifelong friends are always made from this event. You will be living in a community of 150+ runners, cut off from the outside world, for one truly magical week.

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.

Wadi Rum’s nickname is “The Valley of the Moon” and participants will quickly see why. Its landscape, characterised by unique towering rock formations, is truly mind-blowing, as is the challenge. As locations go, this place is unrivalled in its beauty.
