A person wearing a blue helmet and red shirt is hiking on rocky terrain surrounded by tall grasses and trees. The sky is clear with a few clouds, and a hill covered in green foliage is visible in the background. Three runners in vibrant gear traverse a desert landscape at dusk. The sky is a mix of blues and oranges as the sun sets behind distant rocky hills. They carry backpacks and wear caps, moving energetically across the sandy terrain. A group of runners spread out over a vast, sandy desert landscape. The lead runner is in focus, wearing a number bib and athletic gear. The sky is clear, and small shrubs dot the reddish terrain underfoot.

Organiser's Description

Ultra X 110 Rwanda is a multi-stage ultra marathon that takes place over two days around northern Rwanda and the districts of Burera and Musanze.

The race takes place near the Volcanoes National Park (where the famous mountain gorillas are based) and the twin lakes; Lake Ruhondo and Lake Burera. This course will take you on a sensory journey, over gentle hills and valleys, through traditional coffee and banana fields with lush, jungle like vegetation and over a stunning lake peninsula. Runners will enjoy all of this whilst taking in the incredible backdrop of Rwanda’s five iconic volcanoes; Mt Muhabura, Mt Sabyinyo, Mt Karisimbi, Mt Bisoke and Mt Gahinga whilst being supported by the wonderful local population.

If you are looking to combine a race with a holiday, then you have plenty of options. Competitors can choose from an Ultra X / Tugende Kigali genocide memorial tour & safari excursion add on (in Akagera National Park) at registration, visiting the gorillas or meandering through the streets and markets of Kigali.
