RacingThePlanet: The Extreme Ultramarathon That Tests Body and Spirit

RacingThePlanet: The Extreme Ultramarathon in the World's Most Inhospitable Deserts

For over 15 years, RacingThePlanet has organized the legendary 4 Deserts Ultramarathon series, a unique challenge that tests the physical and mental capabilities of the most courageous athletes. Every year, around 200 participants from around the world meet to tackle a 250-kilometer run over seven days through some of the planet's most hostile environments: from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia to the Sahara in Africa, the Namib Desert in Namibia, and Antarctica.

One race, four deserts, one legend

The 4 Deserts Ultramarathon is recognized globally as one of the most extreme and prestigious outdoor ultramarathon races. It's not just about running, but about surviving extreme weather conditions, managing energy, and managing nutrition in extremely challenging conditions. The challenge tests the endurance, mental strength, and spirit of adventure of each participant.

Participation and organization

On average, each edition of the 4 Deserts attracts around 200-250 athletes from over 40 different countries. Since the race's inception, more than 2,000 athletes have completed the entire series of four deserts, joining a select group of elite ultramarathoners.
