The Ultra Experience Summer Trail Series by ASICS 25k race was a thrilling and challenging adventure. The combination of stunning scenery, tough terrain, and adverse weather conditions created a truly authentic trail running experience. The dedication of the organizers, the camaraderie among participants, and the support from volunteers made this event a memorable one. I would highly recommend this race to any trail running enthusiast looking for an exciting and rewarding challenge.

Ultra x summer series was my first trail race. I did the 25km route and loved it. The only downside I had is that the marking of the route was difficult to follow in places, with other runners and myself taking wrong turns numerous times, but it added to the adventure. The terrain was also technical in places, more so than I expected. All in all, great event and met some great people too!

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.
