There's something special about camping in Mongolia. From nights spent near ancient fortresses, petroglyph rocks, sleeping in traditional gers and lounging in fresh Mongolian streams, camps during the Gobi March / UltraLite (Mongolia) get competitors a little closer to understanding the nomadic way of life. There's freedom in being unbound to one place, and each day brings a new set of surroundings, with the only consistent thing being the friends you share the week with!

Discover the incredible Mongolian wilderness at the Gobi March / UltraLite (Mongolia), beginning 20 June 2027.

What gets you through the tough moments?
Could it be a mantra, thoughts of a loved one, counting kilometres? Maybe it's visions of a shiny medal or a cold drink at the finish line. When everything outside is telling you to stop, there must be something that keeps you saying go!
What's your way of getting through?

The wildlife in Antarctica is on another level! The entire Antarctic Peninsula is teeming with wildlife totally untouched by human civilization. Multiple species of penguins, seals, birds, and whales make their homes among the snow, ice, and waters of the Antarctic, unbothered by human visitors. During The Last Desert / Antarctica Ultramarathon / UltraLite (Antarctica)) and the Friends & Family Experience, close encounters with animals is basically guaranteed, to the point where briefings are needed beforehand to learn how to conduct oneself when a penguin or other creature makes its way too close! Running alongside penguins and seals becomes almost ordinary by the end of the race.

Antarctica is a precious sanctuary for wildlife in the polar region, and it's an incredible privilege to be able to visit them in their habitat. Let's enjoy these incredible moments with them and appreciate that there are some places on Earth where nature can just be nature!

The expedition begins 13 November 2026!
