Ultra X Jordan 2026, the “10th Anniversary Edition” takes place in the land of Lawrence of Arabia. The mystical desert course will take you past historic sites, into dramatic wadis and over magnificent sand dunes.

Wadi Rum’s nickname is “The Valley of the Moon” and you will quickly see why. Its landscape, characterised by unique towering rock formations, is truly mind-blowing. As locations go, this place is unrivalled in its beauty.

With direct flights from many European cities, Amman (the capital of Jordan) is incredibly easy and affordable to get to. Ultra X Jordan delivers the adventure of a lifetime.

In 2025, we had participants from: Cyprus, Netherlands, Romania, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Germany, Australia, USA, South Africa, Switzerland, NZ, UK, Hong Kong, France and of course, Jordan!

Ultra X Jordan welcomes runners and walkers and everyone in between. The majority of those who take part in this event will walk half the course.
