The TU50 is The Beauty – a tough, mountainous 50km trail. If you are a runner or a supporter, you will love this race. It 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.
