The event in a few words

In the Ultra X family, I would like Tanzania! ๐Ÿƒ Another ultra-trail accessible for all runners seeking unique adventures ๐Ÿ’ซ. 

This time we're heading to Tanzania ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ in the city of Moshi, the land of the big five! Yes, this East African country is overflowing with a rich variety of flora and fauna ๐Ÿž๏ธ. Among them are the king of the savannah, the lion ๐Ÿฆ, the rhinoceros ๐Ÿฆ, the elephant ๐Ÿ˜, the African buffalo ๐Ÿƒ, and the leopard! ๐Ÿ† Impressive, right? Well, you're not coming for a safari, but it's almost the same thing, so here's the program: 5 days of racing, between 30 and 58 km! ๐Ÿฅต Indeed, it's hefty. The race is recognized in the UTMB 100K category index ๐Ÿ’ช. No worries, you can adopt the pace you want, the checkpoints are located every 10 km ๐Ÿ“ and you have 2.5 to 3 hours to cover them, so you can run at a very relaxed pace ๐Ÿค™. We recommend arriving before Saturday to be in top shape! On Sunday, the briefing will take place at 9 am and all participants must be present! ๐Ÿ™Œ Then, transport will take you to the Namalok Nature Reserve ๐ŸŒพ where you will take the first start of this totally crazy ultra-trail! ๐Ÿคช This reserve is protected from all sorts of illegal activities like poaching or the cutting down of certain trees.

The real highlight of the race is the trails on the famous Mount Kilimanjaro! ๐Ÿ—ป In other words, one of the highest mountains in the world. The stages will also pass through less difficult sections, such as in the forest ๐ŸŒณ, near lakes, or even in the savannah! ๐Ÿฆด We can already see you bounding like an antelope! ๐ŸฆŒ At the end of each day, a campsite awaits you so you can recover before the next day. These campsites are chosen to highlight the local wonders! On-site, you can enjoy osteopathic care and physiotherapy if needed or to help you recover! ๐Ÿ”ฅ On the last day, when you've conquered the last km, you'll be able to enjoy a great BBQ (well-deserved) and activities that will accompany the prize ceremony! ๐Ÿ…

So, are you ready for Tanzania? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

5 reasons to join this race

An extraordinary experience ๐Ÿคฏ
It's not every Monday of the month that you fly to Tanzania! ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ It's a country where the scenery is stunning and it's especially an ideal place for an ultra-trail! Plus, the organization is meticulous to ensure everything goes smoothly during your stay. Every journey is anticipated, as are the campsites and meals. It's a bit like a vacation with a real challenge at the end! โญ
Run an accessible ultra-trail! ๐ŸŽฝ
At first glance, ultra-trails may seem inaccessible and reserved for top-level trail runners ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ. But the Ultra X organization offers challenges over long distances for all levels. No need to feel pressured, you don't have to be a running star for this challenge โฑ๏ธ.
UTMB Index ๐Ÿ…
Ultra X Tanzania is recognized in the 100K category of the UTMB Index. If the famous race perched in Haute-Savoie interests you, then go for it! ๐Ÿฅ‰
The Ultra X ๐Ÿ†
If you enjoyed the race, you can always participate in other events offered by the organization ๐ŸŽฌ. Under the same conditions, you can go to: Ultra X Morocco, Ultra X Rwanda, Ultra X Scotland, Ultra X Finland, Ultra X Slovenia as well as 6 other races! Isn't that like Christmas come early! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
Mount Kilimanjaro ๐Ÿ—ป
As you already know, part of the race takes place on the famous summit of Kilimanjaro! ๐Ÿคฉ Of course, it's not about completing the entire ascent, that would be far too difficult, but some sections will be on the lower parts of the mountain! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
