Ultra X Rwanda 2026

Ultra X Rwanda is an event that takes place over two days around northern Rwanda in the districts of Burera and Musanze. It offers two events: a 110km two stage event and a 50km single stage race. 

The race takes place near the Volcanoes National Park (where the famous mountain gorillas are based) and the twin lakes: Lake Ruhondo and Lake Burera. This course will take you on a sensory journey, over gentle hills and valleys, through traditional coffee and banana fields with lush, jungle like vegetation and over a stunning lake peninsula.

If you are looking to combine a race with a holiday, you have plenty of options. Competitors can choose from an Ultra X / Tugende Kigali memorial tour & safari excursion add on (in Akagera National Park) at registration, visiting the gorillas or meandering through the streets and markets of Kigali.

The 50km event takes place on the second day (Sunday) of the 110km event.
