Moab Utah, November14th 2009( registration will open on March 1st 2009)
Internationally known for its Mountain biking, we will now take you on this spectacular terrain on foot. The land of the surreal and home of canyons. The Ultimate XC series has build a reputation for creating courses that are unique, diversified and beautifull. Believe me we will not fail you on this one.
Danelle Ballengee; world class athlete, will be the course setter for our first Offroad 50km, 20 miler and 10 miler in the Moab desert. The secenery will be spectacular. We will take you where very few people have ever been before.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
All our courses are very well marked. They do not require navigation or using a compas.
BEWARE:
No baby allowed. Most of our distance advertised are wrong. For instance our 10 miler turned out to be a 13 miler. Our 20 miler was really a 24 miler and our 50km was in reality a 56 km.
This is not a normal or standard 50km. The Ultimate Xc Moab Edition 50km is considered as one of the hardest 50km on the planet. Most of our particpants will attest that this is as hard as a 50 miler.As a rule of Thumb, if you can run a 50km in 6 hours ;count to run this one in 9 hours. Yes 50% more time to complete the same distance. If this sound like a daunting task, this race is probably not for you.
We were sold out last year and probably will be again in 2009. Their is no BULL in this statement. 30% of our runners registered in 2008 to the 50km decided to call it quit after 20 miles. Make sure that you register to the right distance.
If you are up to a major challenge, this is for you.
