About the Race

WHY RUN IT?

The Ultra X Sri Lanka is a rare stage race where you don’t have to bring all your belongings with you as a test of self-sufficiency. Instead, you carry a day kit while the rest of your gear is transported by the race organizers. Even so, there are reports of serious attrition with many racers skipping stages or requiring IV drips to rehydrate.

“The only way we can change is to be real with ourselves.”

- David Goggins

Dotted with remote villages and rice plantations, the Ultra X Sri Lanka course features more wildlife than the vast majority of races. Unfortunately, a lot of that wildlife is pesky insects. But it’s also birds, monkeys, and iguanas, so you can take the bad with the good.
