Ultra-Endurance Running

Running events that go beyond the standard marathon distance, from fifty kilometres up to races of many days. Ultramarathon is the type case, run on roads, trails and tracks, and tests pacing, nutrition and resilience over distance. What belongs here is a running event defined by its extreme length. Every sport filed in this group belongs to the Multisport and Endurance Sports category and has its own entry in the Sport and Games Atlas, from which a reader can follow links on to its leading athletes, its competitions and the governing bodies that set its rules.
