The TU100 is The Beast – a very physically demanding 100km mountain ultra, that will test even the most legendary athletes! If you are a runner or a supporter, you will love this race which is held in the mountains of Mae Hong Son province, very close to the Burmese border, and the route for the races heads into some very isolated areas off the tourist track.
This is a trail run with a difference; you will pass through several remote hill tribe villages, 2 wilderness sanctuaries, see awe-inspiring limestone cliffs, and the entrance to a cathedral-like river cave. There are also 700-year-old burial mounds right next to the track. It’s in the magnificent rural backcountry of north west Thailand.
The course has been designed to maximize time spent under the jungle canopy, on ancient hill tribe trails, and on disused dirt roads.
This is Thailand’s first mountain ultramarathon, and it’s tough, so be prepared for some big hill climbs and steep descents.
