Ultra X Rwanda

Ultra X Rwanda is an event that takes place in northern Rwanda
and the districts of Burera and Musanze. It offers two distances:
110km & 50km. The 110km event is a two-stage race taking place
on Saturday and Sunday, whilst the 50km event is a single-stage
race taking place on the Sunday.
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. 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.
There are two stages, Saturday and Sunday. The first stage is 60km
and will commence at 07:00. The second stage is 50km and will
commence at 07:00 (50km runners will start at the same time).
There are checkpoints stationed approximately 12km apart where
competitors can access water, shade/shelter, and, if necessary,
medical support.
Competitors will sleep at their campsite accommodation (tented)
on Lake Ruhondo on the Friday, the campsite near Kinigi on the
Saturday, and finally back to Lake Ruhondo campsite on Sunday
after the race. Ultra X Rwanda is a UTMB® indexed race in the
100k (110km race) & 50k (50km race) category
