About The Ultra MARAthon

Started in 2020, the Ultra MARAthon is a 50km single-day foot race through the conservancies of the northern Maasai Mara ecosystem in Kenya. The race, run either as an individual or as part of a relay team, takes participants through the northern Mara conservancies giving them a unique sporting experience within one of Africa’s jewels.
