JORDAN ULTRA CHALLENGE Whether you’re a walker and new to challenge events, an experienced trekker, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance, or a seasoned ultra runner after UTMB points – there’s an Ultra Challenge for you! Push yourself further afield – and take on the Jordan Ultra Challenge! It’s 2 marathon distances over 2 days at your pace in a fantastic setting on an inspirational route through the dramatic desert scenery of Wadi Rum, with vast silent landscapes, ancient sun baked riverbeds, sand dunes, and a Bedouin style basecamp. This 6 day trip is action packed – a testing challenge, magnificent scenery, camping under the stars, camaraderie, full support, a visit to Petra – the ‘8th wonder of the ancient world, and capped with some relaxation in the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea. An unforgettable Arabian adventure – and an Ultra Challenge like no other! Jordan is a popular destination – and for a good reason, with a fantastic mix of history, stunning landscapes, and unique sights. Wadi Rum – described by T.E Lawrence (.. ‘of Arabia’ fame) as ‘vast, echoing and god-like’ – provides an imposing desert backdrop for our double marathon distance challenge – with sandstone skyscraper-like towers carved by weather & winds, giving a unique Martian-like landscape. After a tough day on the trails under the sun, relax in the private Bedouin style campsite with showers, dining tents, a bar with cold drinks, evening entertainment, and some great food. With visits included to the incomparable UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra, the ‘Rose City’ – and a day to relax by / in / or on the Dead Sea at a spa hotel – April 2024 is the time to do something really special!
