Ultramarathon World Championship

The Ultramarathon World Championship is a global competition where the world’s best long-distance runners compete in ultramarathon races—events longer than a traditional marathon (26.2 miles). These races can span anywhere from 50 kilometers (31 miles) to hundreds of miles, often over challenging terrains like mountains and deserts. Organized by international athletics organizations, the championship aims to identify the fastest and most resilient ultramarathon runners worldwide, fostering elite competition, setting standards, and promoting the sport’s growth globally.
