Organiser's Description

The Great Rift Valley Ultra (GVRU) is a running event cutting across a beautiful and inspiring tribal region of Kenya, desolate landscapes with a fascinating history influenced by a turbulent history, and magnificent nature and geography. This extraordinary trip at the heart of the Africa will take the runners to some of the World's most beautiful summits.
