About the Event

Salt Pans Ultra Marathon in Botswana is the toughest flat route race in Africa and one of the toughest races in the world. Choose your challenge: 50km or 100km across the vast, ancient Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, the World’s second-largest. With no markers, extreme heat, and endless solitude, this bucket-list run pushes limits while connecting you to humankind’s origins.
