Experience an adventure in incredible landscapes and discover a unique culture

Have a great running experience in Mongolia!

MONGOLIA TRAIL RUN is an adventure experience that takes place entirely in the lonely and vast steppes of MONGOLIA.

It is a unique event that allows you to sleep every night under a starry sky in the comfort of a traditional ger, get to know the tastes of a country and immerse yourself in incredible landscapes.

The six-stage race starts in the Elsen Tasarkhai dunes and ends at the iconic 16th century Buddhist monastery Erdene Zuu in Karakorum, each day discovering a different landscape.

Together with your companions, you will enjoy the routes, the daily meals, the activities, the transfers, the cultural visits, the nature in its purest form…

The race is available in two different modes to suit all abilities: Mongolia Trail Run (Khan) of 170km or Half (Nomad) of 90km.

Runners opinion

I have run dozens of races, on asphalt and trail; several marathons, progressively improving my times. In 2023 I ventured into a stage trail in the Sahara and this 2024 I launched myself into the challenge of the Mongolia Trail Run: a bit out of curiosity, because of holiday dates and because of references from the organizers, I trusted and did not study too much what awaited me in Mongolia.
And there began an incredible process of discovery of a country, an environment, its culture and its people; its way of life: exciting and from which we can/must learn so much...
An expedition organized with care and professionalism, with precision in the details (connections, transfers, food and overnight camps, visits, luggage transfers...) as well as with the ability to solve unforeseen events of all kinds.
Special mention to the staff, and in parallel, to the family atmosphere of the participating team: a wonderful opportunity to live with runners of ten nationalities, from all over the world!
And in terms of sport... I would say that it was unbeatable: the design of the 6 routes (beautiful, varied, well-calculated difficulty...); the daily preparation and information, the marking, the refreshment points and the start and finish, prepared to the millimetre every day. The race material received... and the pride, totally unexpected, of being the winner.
A sporting experience, but above all a life experience, that I will keep forever as part of me.
THANK YOU / BAYARLALAA!!!

XAVI MOYA

1ST MALE KHAN MTR 2024

My decision to run the Mongolia Trail was based on the approach and the beautiful images that the organizers will convey in their publications. And of course, it more than met my expectations.
I have been walking in the mountains since I was a child. And although my participation in trail races is recent, the truth is that, as a mountaineer, I have visited impressive places.
However, this trail has something special: not only do the routes and the landscapes take your breath away, but there is also exhaustive control of what happens at every moment by the staff, which makes you feel safe even if you are only a few kilometers away (another wonderful feeling).
It is a highly recommended competition and a perfect way to combine nature, exercise and adventure, surrounded by an exceptional human environment, not crowded and well controlled.
Long live the Mongolia Trail!

1ST FEMALE KHAN MTR 2024

I was looking forward to running this race but I was a little scared because of the distance and the gradient, but the truth is that I enjoyed all the stages and had a lot of fun running it and the landscapes, the staff, the routes and everything made it one of the best races I have run to date.

ALEIX LAGO

1ST MALE NOMAD MTR 2024

This is my first time competing in stages and I have a feeling that it will be very difficult to top!
Mongolia trail run has the art of exceeding expectations day after day, not only for the adventure, the experience and its culture, but also for its impeccable organization.
An experience that has renewed my soul and recharged my batteries even though it sounds difficult because it is a competition. I will never forget you. THANK YOU.

NEREA DEL RIO

1ST FEMALE NOMAD MTR 2024

I have been fortunate enough to compete in many races around the world like ÖTillÖ, Escape from Alcatraz and Norseman, but Trail Run Mongolia is on another level.
The organisers have managed to bring together all the elements of difficulty, wilderness, history, community, culture and stunning scenery day after day. I have never experienced such a feeling of remoteness and beauty in a race, whilst still knowing that there's a support team not too far away.
This is already an Iconic race, it will live long in my memory and should be on every trail runner's Bucket List - get training!

ANDREW FISHER

1ER MALE MTR 2023

I've participated in many stage races so far, but the Mongolian Trail Run was special!
I was happy to be able to run through various lands in Mongolia such as grasslands, lakes, and mountains starting from the desert! In addition, I was able to touch not only racing but also traditional culture, and I had time to go sightseeing and had a very fulfilling day!!
There were more animals (horses, sheep, cows, camels, goats, etc.) than I imagined, and I was able to feel nature!
Thank you for the really wonderful days!
