ABOUT THAILAND BY UTMB®:
Thailand by UTMB® is the first UTMB Group event in Southeast Asia, and following a successful first edition in 2020, it was welcomed into the Ultra Trail World Tour 2021. In 2022, it will be part of the inaugural UTMB® World Series.
Thailand by UTMB® course is based around the highest mountain of Thailand, Doi Inthanon, also known as the roof of Thailand. The route showcases the local biodiversity and the forest changes with the gradual climb elevation from 400 to 2100 meters above sea level. The journey will take runners to experience the peaceful Hmong, and Pga-Gan-Yaw, Karenic tribe ways of life, the awe-inspiring views of terrace paddy field, where the entire area is brightened by golden ears of rice, as well as the picturesque montane farms.
RULES OF VIRTUAL RACE:
To become a Finisher, you must run 54km with 2,800 meters of elevation gain or the equivalent of 82 Kilometer-effort.
