It features 333 km of pure cruelty, or a 555 km out-and-back for true masochists. La Ultra The High&#8217;s course profile goes straight from 11,500 feet to over 17,500 feet three times in a row, for 18,000 vertical feet of cumulative elevation gain. While other challenging ultramarathons, like the UTMB and Hardrock 100, climb more in total, their high points are at similar levels to La Ultra The High&#8217;s low points. If you think this doesn\u2019t make a big difference, just wait until you feel the effects of altitude as you death march up to each high pass. Temperatures this high up are also more volatile, ranging between a sweltering 100\u00b0F down to a freezing 15\u00b0F within hours.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not tired of adventures after the race, Ladakh is a perfect place to explore the great outdoors in Northern India. The snow-capped Himalayas provide an amazing backdrop for all sorts of thrilling adventure sports. You can hike through picturesque valleys, trek across vast plateaus, or motorbike winding mountain roads. Motorbiking is especially rewarding in Nubra Valley, as it offers spectacular views over many high-altitude passes with unforgettable mountain views. Though after a race like this, no one would blame you for wanting to stay in the lowlands, warm and cozy in one of the area\u2019s many charming guesthouses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60b0d5f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"60b0d5f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreunbound.com\/everest-extreme-ultra\/\">3.

At that very moment, a climber who stood atop the world\u2019s highest summit might be descending through it. However hard it is to function in the thin air at EBC (17,500 feet), you know how much more challenging it must be 11,500 feet higher, where the air is even thinner and bitterly cold. But you\u2019re likely to find little solace in these thoughts, if you run the Everest Extreme Ultra, as your focus will be putting one foot in front of the other for hours on end. Even downhill running at this altitude is a challenge. So don\u2019t be fooled by the net downhill course profile \u2013 this is truly one of the world\u2019s toughest footraces.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to Everest Base Camp takes about a week and a half of trekking, best done through the official ultramarathon package, so you can enjoy the company of your fellow runners. The trail is challenging and rewarding at the same time. Each day has about 5 hours of effort, followed by rest and quiet mountain life in the afternoons and evenings. Early on, you will pass through quaint mountain villages, where you\u2019ll have occasional summit views and might even glimpse Everest. In the later days, you will find yourself fully surrounded by Himalayan peaks, immersed in a world of rugged adventure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a26dc4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a26dc4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreunbound.com\/ultra-trail-du-mont-blanc\/\">4.

With 33,000 ft in elevation gain, it\u2019s no wonder qualifying is so difficult. Each year, thousands of runners enter the race lottery, which is a feat in itself, and less than a third actually get in. Those that do will experience a weeklong celebration of trail running, based out of Chamonix. In addition to the famous 106-mile UTMB, there are shorter race options (25, 35, 60, and 75 miles), which can be just as challenging to enter. Besides the races, Chamonix offers an endless web of trails where each route is strikingly different. You could spend years here without getting bored, exploring forests, glaciers, turquoise lakes, moon-like landscapes, and more.<\/p>\n<p>If you have your sights set on the UTMB, know that getting to the start line is only half the battle. Along the way, there are many cut-offs points that you need to make in order not be disqualified. Runners may opt to continue running outside of the race, without any support from aid stations \u2013 but this makes the already difficult course almost impossible. The final cut-off point is reaching the finish line within 46 hours and 30 minutes. This may sound like a long time, but many runners find themselves needing every second.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cf1aa8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3cf1aa8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreunbound.com\/hardrock-100-endurance-run\/\">5.

With +\/-33,000 feet of elevation and a highpoint over 14,000 feet, it is one of the toughest 100 mile races out there. It is also one of the most beautiful, passing through legendary Colorado mountain towns, like Telluride and Ouray. Along the course, you&#8217;ll experience the magic of the San Juan mountains, while trying your best to escape any oncoming storms or lightning strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Unlucky runners have been known to hide out in caves while lightning storms pass by (and a few unlucky ones have even been struck). Temperatures can be just as volatile \u2013 dropping into single digits at night, after blazing hot days. If you plan on spending time in Colorado before or after your race \u2013 which you should \u2013 the best way to do it is in a campervan.

It takes place in interior Antarctica, only a few miles from the South Pole. If you had your heart set on reaching pole itself, you can organize a side-trip there after the race. But you&#8217;ll forget all about standing at the world\u2019s southernmost point when you see the dazzling Ellsworth Mountains from the course.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at Union Glacier, the Antarctic Ice 100K takes participants through an adventure-packed part of Antarctica seldom seen by most people. From this base camp, there are mountain climbing opportunities, for those who wish to go even higher into snowcapped mountains, or ski down them. If biking is your thing, then fat biking over snow can be arranged. You can even go skydiving from Union Glacier \u2013 it\u2019s a true adventurer\u2019s paradise. So it only makes sense it\u2019s also home to one of the world\u2019s toughest ultramarathons.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreunbound.com\/toughest-ultramarathons\/\">Discover the World\u2019s Toughest Ultramarathons<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreunbound.com\">Explore Unbound<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOME DESTINATIONS ACTIVITIES MARATHONS MOUNTAINS SKI AREAS TREKS RESOURCES CONTACT US HOME DESTINATIONS ACTIVITIES MARATHONS MOUNTAINS SKI AREAS TREKS RESOURCES CONTACT US EXPLORE UNBOUND Discover the World\u2019s Toughest Ultramarathons For many, running a marathon is challenging enough.
