Over 300 people have signed up from all over the world to take part. All runners need is a GPS watch or Strava to record their time.

The event is free and a limited edition Ultra X 14.1 commemorative medal is available to purchase upon registration. Results will be announced on Monday 13th April.

In response to the pandemic, Ultra X has launched a new registration policy for their upcoming races; Azores 125 (5th-6th September, 2020), Jordan (3rd-10th October, 2020), and Mexico (7th – 14th November, 2020).

New entrants will be offered a full refund if the race gets cancelled or postponed due to the Coronavirus. If travel complications make it impossible to get to the start line, runners can request a refund right up until one week before the race start date.
