Join Salt Pans Ultra Marathon 2023
Visit Beautiful Botswana and run the toughest flat route race in the World…
In it’s third year, the Salt Pans Ultra is already being described as a bucket list trail ultra. Presenting two distances with 50kms and 100kms races you can choose how much pain you want to take on. The routes are entirely on and around the epic, awe inspiring and humbling Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, the second largest salt pans in the World.
The pans are the bed of an ancient mega lake from which some scientists believe early mankind started the first migrations North. While you gain very little in elevation you will certainly be pushed to your mental and physical limits. There are few points of reference, no route markings, extreme temperatures and plenty of time on your own to chat to your spiritual ancestors.
While you visiting Africa’s safari mecca why not take advantage of our safari race specials with Tuli Trails a Trip Advisor Traveller Choice safari lodge or Desert Delta Safaris.
Course details
We provide a truly African experience with amazing sunsets and sunrises, clear star filled night skies. There is fully supported wilderness camping, great food, craft beer and gin, amazing volunteers and a small intimate field of 75 athletes.
The course is flat, hot and for many hours you will feel as though you are alone in the World. No cell signal, no route markers and no noise except the endless crunch of your shoes on the pans. Expect wind and towering dust devils, high temperatures and the constant glare of the bright white sand. You will need to be on top of your mental game to finish as that is the harder half of the challenge.
The well stocked water stations will be visible from miles away promising a brief respite. Kukonje Island is a highlight as it towers in the middle of the Pans with its ancient baobab trees highlighted against the horizon.
