Description

Ultra X Nevada is a brand new multi-stage ultra marathon that takes place over five days in the Red Rock Conservation Area and Spring Mountain Recreation Area – the mountain range that rises like an island out of the Mojave Desert to the West of Las Vegas.

This incredibly exciting event will see runners cover 220km over five days in the Mojave desert where they will experience one of our most varied and unique courses to date. This is absolutely not one to miss!

Ultra X Nevada takes place in the beautiful mountainous wilderness that rises out of the Mojave Desert just west of Las Vegas. The race is split between two contrasting landscapes; the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area and the Spring Mountain Recreation Area.

An Ultra X race is the ultimate test of preparation. A participant who has planned and trained well will be a successful one. It is just as important that participants calculate their water, electrolyte and food requirements, as it is their pacing during this five-day adventure.

This is not a self-supported race. Participants only need to carry their daily provisions of mandatory safety equipment, nutrition, and hydration. Race holdalls are transported between campsites by the organisers and water is resupplied at checkpoints approximately 10km apart. However, weight management is still crucial and runners are advised to only bring items which are essential to their health and comfort.

Ultra X welcomes both runners and walkers. All participants will likely be doing a combination of the two in order to get to the finish line, which is the most important thing.
