Ultra Adventure Run
2020-01-17 - 2020-01-19 | Welcome Rock Southland, Blackmore Station Queenstown on Kingston Garston Highway #6., Garston, 9793, New Zealand
The Revenant is an individual or two person team Ultra Adventure Run. More than 190km & 16,000m-ish of vertical ascent, if you navigate it perfectly. The race is at Welcome Rock on Blackmore Station, straddling the border of Southland and Central Otago. It’s an area rich in the history of the Otago Gold Rush.
The course covers a huge variety of terrain from alpine tussock land to Fiordland-like Beech forest. You’ll be hot, you’ll be cold, you’ll get wet and have little time to sleep. It could even snow. You may not finish. Miners bashed their way across this unforgiving wilderness in search of gold. Only a very few got rich. Most didn’t. Many never came back. Participants will race across the same unforgiving terrain, probably with the same chance of success.

Entries open 01/5/19 and close 30/9/19 or earlier if the strictly limited number of entries is reached.
A true challenge is when failure is the most likely outcome.

Dead Sea Marathon - Israel
2020-02-06 - 2020-02-07 | Ein Bokek, Jordan; West Bank, Israel
Witness the beautiful dead sea as you run across Israel’s beautiful beach.
The highlight of this running experience is the course that leads through the dikes at the Dead Sea Works plant and well into the southern Dead Sea basin. Reflecting a peaceful daily routine, the central dike marks the Israeli-Jordanian border with no fence. Runners are given a unique opportunity to enter this usually restricted access area and enjoy rarely seen breathtaking views.
The relatively flat surface of mainly compressed kurkar ensures high speed and best performance.

List of Heats:
10K Run – running along the new Dead Sea promenade, in memory of Tomer and Giora Ron.
21.1K Half Marathon – a fast and flat course across the dikes in the southern Dead Sea basin
