The Global Race Series

Beyond The Ultimate

Race across the Arctic Circle, Amazon Rainforest, World’s Oldest Desert and the undiscovered Tian Shan Mountain Range.

The ultimate multi-day ultramarathon series - set in the most remote and hostile environments on earth.

Beyond the Ultimate runs a series of self-sufficient, multi-day ultramarathons set in the most challenging but beautiful environments around the world.

Our events cover a number of different environments and distances all of which are designed to test you. Whether you’re keen to run across the Kenyan wildlife conservancies, the remote Knoydart Peninsula in Scotland or take on our Global Race Series, we have something remarkable for everyone.

We believe that you should fill your life with experiences, not things. And so our multi-day trail running adventures have been created with that in mind. We know ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

We are Beyond the Ultimate. Follow us to adventure.

The scenery was just so beautiful. You couldn’t stop and admire it for long or you’d freeze to death. But it was very beautiful. A belting adventure.

What our runners say

Lenka Vacvalova

It's beautiful in Swedish Lapland but tougher than I imagined. The cold punishes any mistakes. I wanted to know what I was capable of after all my training and this race showed me.

An incredible race in a beautiful landscape, with so many helpful and caring volunteers. Running in a raw and untouched landscape with elephant, rhino, giraffe and zebras was epic.
