November was dedicated to our project in the Land of the Thunder Dragon, the new Bhutan Ultra. December has been busy with our Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra and Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra. BUT planning for the inaugural Rainforest Ultra has been progressing steadily, too. So, today, I’m excited to share the map of our 100 km race with you. This route also forms the first half of the full 200 km distance. The entire event takes place within the protected area of the RESEX Tapajós-Arapiuns, which will also serve as the hub for our acclimatization period and the site of our Survival Course before we hit the trails.
This map provides a clear picture of where we’ll be in relation to nearby areas and, thanks to satellite imagery, a glimpse of the stunning landscapes we’ll traverse. You’ll see how much of the first 100 km winds through the jungle and how much follows the breathtaking Tapajós and Arapiuns Rivers.
We’re continuing to refine the map and will share additional details soon, including photos to help you visualize the journey ahead. Once everything is finalized, we’ll also reveal the map of the second 100 km of the Rainforest Ultra.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and stay tuned – more exciting updates to come!
