An extreme ultra-distance triathlon

Racing Quest organises UMUK, an extreme ultra-distance triathlon event, held in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park in the mountainous region of North-West Wales.

UMUK has attracted athletes from around the world and is widely considered one of the toughest ultra-distance staged triathlons in the world due to its + 20,000 feet (6000m) of ascent, with both long gradual and short but brutally steep climbs.

The race is by invitation only. Competing in UMUK is an enormous undertaking which requires a huge amount of dedication and determination. Therefore, applicants must meet certain criteria and the selection of invitees will be based upon the experience and qualifications of each applicant. In addition, each racer must be accompanied by an individual support team of at least two people over the entire course.

UMUK will be held between 30th August – 2nd September 2018.

Swim: 6.2 miles
Bike: 90 miles + 171.4 miles
Run: 52.4 miles
