Highway To Hell

WE SAY “TO HELL WITH IT!”

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Highway To Hell Ultracycle. 300km (186 miles) in just 48 hours. Through soft sand and endless sand dunes. Where other races run through the Sahara, this is true, deep Saharan running. Crafted for only the brave and the resilient This is not just a race; it’s a pilgrimage through the sands of time. Join us on a 150km odyssey from the mystical Eye of the Sahara, where the Lost City of Atlantis is said to be found, to the ancient city of Chinguetti.

Experience the raw, unbridled beauty of the Sahara as you’ve never seen it before. This is where legends are born and personal frontiers are shattered. Prepare to hate yourself, to bleed, to cry. Then prepare to be transformed for the better. Are you ready to transcend the ordinary?

Perhaps we can highlight the unique hashtag for the event for everyone to follow in both the buildup and the events once the actual race begins. Just follow #HTHU and be sure not to miss a moment of this groundbreaking event.

“The Gates of Hell in Ashgabat are an absolute must for any serious traveler. Come and see them soon! Rumour is that they’re due to close it any time!”
