Event: 75km Trail Ultra
This event is absolutely not to be taken lightly, as the combination of climbing, high altitude and unpredictable weather can be both difficult and dangerous. Additionally, the cutoff for the KTR Ultra 75 is 13.5 hours, which requires exceptional fitness and determination. [Do NOT assume the difference between the 75 and 65 is a mere 10km of running.]
Our 65 and 75 km ultra marathons split at the 33 kilometer (20.5 mi) mark, and KTR Ultra 75 runners may drop down to the 65 at that point to maintain a race finish.
KTR Ultra 75 is limited to 100 runners in 2024 | Start Saturday, 31st August 5:30.

Event: 65km Trail Ultra
The cutoff for the KTR Ultra 65 is the same 13.5 hours allotted for the 75, which does still require some real work. This event is not to be taken lightly, as the combination of climbing, high altitude and unpredictable weather can be difficult.

Event: 50km Trail Ultra
Runners climb the Lemosho trekking route and descend via Shira rescue road, passing farmland, rain forest, and heather / moorland zones. Total climbing is 2225m (7300 ft).
The cutoff for the KTR Ultra 50 is the same 13.5 hours allotted for the other two ultras, which makes it an extremely accessible high elevation marathon (to the extent that high elevation ultras can be accessible). Still, the combination of climbing, high altitude and unpredictable weather can make this a tough day.
