Our winter season is coming to an end. We had an amazing the Yukon Arctic Ultra in February and the 5th edition of the Lapland Arctic Ultra, which started March 1st, was great, too! We had a record race roster and started into a true winter wonderland! Further down bellow you will find some impressions.
Now the focus is on the Bhutan Ultra and Rainforest Ultra. Thanks to everyone who has already expressed an interest! I’ve resumed talks with the Trans Bhutan Trail management, and we are all really looking forward to making our first 200 km ultra in Bhutan a reality.
Like in Brazil, the only thing we still need is more international competitors. So, I will spend the next couple of months reaching out to the ultra running community again and hopefully I will find 30 brave souls who will give the Land of the Thunder Dragon a go.
For anyone who will join us, I guarantee you a trip you will never forget. Just the places you will see before and after the race are worth the visit. Let alone running and hiking 200 km on the eastern part of the Trans Bhutan Trail.
I am fully aware that it’s not a cheap trip. But if you compare our entry fee to any trekking trip to Bhutan you will see that we are actually very competitive with the pricing. Also, please keep in mind that the entry fee does include the USD 100/day visitor fee. A fee that is collected to help finance Bhutan’s health system and education.
If you want to be part of the first edition Bhutan Ultra, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Also, feel free to contact me with questions at any point in time.
