About the event:
Ultra X Jordan (previously the Wadi Rum Ultra) takes place in the land of Lawrence of Arabia. The mystical desert course takes competitors past historic sites, into dramatic wadis and over magnificent sand dunes. An Ultra X race is the ultimate test of preparation. A participant who has planned and trained well will be a successful one. It is just as important that participants calculate their water, electrolyte and food requirements, as it is their pacing during this five day adventure. This is not a self-supported race. Participants only need to carry their daily provisions of mandatory safety equipment, nutrition, and hydration. Race holdalls are transported between campsites by the organisers and water is resupplied at checkpoints approximately 10km apart. However, weight management is still crucial and runners are advised to only bring items which are essential to their health and comfort. Ultra X welcomes both runners and walkers. All participants will likely be doing a combination of the two in order to get to the finish line, which is the most important thing.

One of the most important aspects of preparing for any Ultra X race is calculating personal nutrition and hydration requirements. Participants want to bring enough to be fully fueled but not so much that they are carrying unnecessary weight. Participants will also want to bring electrolyte solutions. Drinking water alone will not be sufficient to stay properly hydrated during a multi-stage ultra marathon event. It is useful to contact runners who have experience in multi-day racing, as they will have expertise in this area. Participants will be invited to join the Ultra X Competitors Facebook Group upon registering for the race, where they can contact members of our friendly and experienced community. Competitors will need to be self-sufficient (supply their own food) from Sunday 1st October to Saturday 7th October. We highly recommend bringing dehydrated or freeze dried food that can be easily rehydrated with hot water, which is supplied at each campsite in the morning and evening. Participants are required by race rules to bring a minimum of 2,000 calories per day for each day of the race. Participants must also carry 800 calories of emergency fuel each day, which must only be consumed in an emergency situation.
