Event information
If you thought you knew Vegas, think again. Just outside the flash and lights of The Strip and Fremont Street lie some of the most diverse and beautiful terrain in America, with elevations rising thousands of metres above the desert basin below and spectacular views to accompany them.
Participants will explore the incredible diversity from alpine views and evergreen forests to the low desert basins with cactus and coloured rocks.
We advise participants arrive into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) on or before Saturday 20th October. Participants are responsible for transferring themselves to their accommodation.
Race hotel:
The Race Hotel (Plaza Hotel and Casino) is located in downtown Las Vegas. It is approximately a 30min drive from the airport. Participants have the option to book rooms at a reduced rate, for the Saturday before the race and the Friday after the race, through the following link.
Race briefing and kit checks:
The welcome and race briefing will take place at 09:00 in a conference room at the race hotel on Sunday morning. All
participants must attend. Any individuals who are not staying at the main race hotel and are responsible for getting themselves there on time. This will be followed by registration, kit checks and baggage weighing. Participants will have the option to deposit a travel bag with the race organisers for the duration of the week for anything they won’t need. Transport will then depart for the first campsite.
Race welcome, safety briefings, and mandatory kit checks will take place at the race hotel in Las Vegas at 09:00. Following kit checks and baggage weighing, all competitors will be transferred to the first campsite in the Spring Mountains.

For any participants wanting to catch a flight on Friday night we recommend not booking a flight that departs before 21:00.
Organiser's description
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.

Ultra X
Taking on a multi-day ultra in a far flung corner of the earth is one of the greatest experiences in the world. The sense of achievement you feel after grinding through each day, and the camaraderie you build with your fellow competitors in a remote desert, jungle or mountain camp is what makes competing in the global Ultra X series truly unique. Our goal is to enable more people to have these experiences every year, to champion the sport of multi-stage racing, and to make the world of ultra more accessible to all. We are now the biggest series of multi-stage ultramarathons on the planet and we are just getting started. Every day from our HQ, we strive to do three things; ~ Launch more races ~ Increase the accessibility and diversity of multi-stage ultra running ~ Build a global community of people that love adventure and love racing We aim to do all these things while doing as much good for the planet as possible. That’s why, in May 2020, we took the decision to become a carbon neutral company. We thank you for your interest and look forward to welcoming you to an Ultra X race soon.
