Two people hike through a desert landscape with rocky cliffs in the background. Both wear hats, backpacks, and use trekking poles. The sky is clear and blue. Three people wearing running gear and backpacks walk through a desert landscape during sunset. The sky is partly cloudy, and the terrain is sandy with distant rocky formations. They appear to be participating in a long-distance event. A joyful runner wearing a medal stands at a race finish line, being splashed with water under a clear blue sky. The scene is surrounded by flags and an inflatable arch in a desert landscape.

Organiser's Description

Ultra X Finland takes place in the Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark, situated in the Lahti region in southern Finland. It offers two races: Ultra X 110 Finland and Ultra X 50 Finland. The 110 event is a two-stage race taking place on Saturday and Sunday, whilst the 50 event is a single-stage race taking place on the Sunday.

A land carved out of water, the incredible terrain was formed by the meltwaters of the continental glacier some 12,000 years ago. The land of a thousand lakes and the midnight sun, the tranquil forests offer an amazing location for trail running and reconnecting with nature.

Ultra X Finland’s races are both UTMB® Index Races, in the 50k category.
