Frequently asked questions
Cut-offs?
We want everyone to finish the race whilst enjoying the scenery. We therefore have generous time allowances of 2 hours per 10km. Participants must have departed the checkpoint before the cut-off time, or they will not be allowed to continue. Cut offs are subject to change by the Race Director. Any changes will be communicated to participants.
Can I cook food?
There is no cooking with gas allowed during Ultra X events. For food, the organisers will provide hot water with which to rehydrate your dehydrated meals. Hot water will be available at camp two hours before the scheduled race start each day and before the first runner crosses the finish line after each stage.
