Running on the Mongolian Steppe, in the footsteps of nomadic herders and Mongol conquerors, has an undeniable allure. The Gobi March, which crosses over 150 miles through Mongolian wilderness as part of the 4 Deserts ultramarathon series, will give you a chance to experience this magic firsthand. Pitting racers against significant temperature swings, sandstorms, and challenging terrain, the Gobi March is ultrarunning at its finest. It is tough, yet beautiful, with lots of potential for self-discovery.
Mongolia’s natural splendor is limitless, with deserts, grasslands, mountains, and lakes to explore. However, its distinct culture is what attracts the majority of visitors. If you have time after the marathon, make sure to visit the famed Naadam Festival, when Mongolian traditions are celebrated with archery, wrestling, and horseback riding sports.
