About the Event

Run into the heart of a cinematic desert at the Ultra Mirage El Djerid (UMED) on Saturday 3rd October 2026. This premier 10th edition ultra-marathon is the first of its kind in the Tunisian Sahara, challenging runners on a stunning 100km, 50km, or 25km single-stage journey across a landscape of dramatic diversity—from rolling sand dunes and rocky plateaus to vast salt lakes and lush oases. Experience the magic of racing through the legendary "Star Wars" terrain of the Djerid region, supported by a deeply principled organization committed to sustainability, gender equality, and genuine community inclusion. More than just a race, it's a responsible and immersive adventure that connects athletes to the soul of the desert and its welcoming people, offering a rare blend of extreme athletic challenge and profound cultural discovery. Secure your spot for a bucket-list ultra where the mirage becomes reality, and every finish is a triumph over one of the planet's most awe-inspiring landscapes.
