Ultrarunning

Ultrarunning is a long-distance running sport that involves distances greater than the standard marathon length of 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers). Events can range from 50 kilometers to 100 miles or longer and may take place on various terrains, including trails and roads. Races can be organized as timed events, where runners cover as much distance as possible in a set time, or as fixed-distance events. Ultrarunners require exceptional physical endurance, mental resilience, and strategic planning for hydration and nutrition, as these events can last many hours or even days.
