Jungle Marathon, the world’s wildest eco race, gives competitors the opportunity to combine sport and eco tourism and experience this stunning part of the world.
We offer three distances: a marathon; a 4 stage 127km race and a 6 stage 254km race.
The course, which includes swamps, river crossings, steep climbs and descents, village trails and fluvial beaches, combined with humidity and scorching temperatures makes it a daunting and exciting race, but well within the realms of any competitor who has a strong mental mindset.
Yes, physical fitness is a requirement- but if you don’t have strong mental tenacity to combine with it then you will struggle to reach the finish.
If you are ready for one of the most exciting and challenging adventures of your life, sign up today and join us from October 5th-14th 2017 in Amazonia, Brazil at the 12th anniversary of the legendary Jungle Marathon .

O termo ultramaratona serve para identificar corridas a pé que tenham uma distância superior a 42.195 metros, que é a distância oficial da maratona. Fora a distância da prova, utiliza-se um segundo critério na definição de ultramaratona: o tempo. Existem, por exemplo, provas de 6, 12, 24 ou 48 horas.22
AdventureCORPS®, Inc. hosts BADWATER® Salton Sea annually in May. This remarkable event challenges up to 40 teams of two or three ultrarunners – running together as duos or trios for the duration, NOT in a relay – to tackle an unimaginable traverse of Southern California deserts and mountains. The route covers 81 miles (130km) from Salton City (elevation 234 feet / 71m below sea level) to Palomar Mountain, the almost tallest mountain in San Diego County (elevation 5500 feet / 1676m.) Eight of the 81 race miles pass through Anza-Borrego State Park on a single track trail known as the California Riding and Hiking Trail from near Borrego Springs to near Ranchita, creating a race route which is a mix of road and trail. There is a total elevation gain of over 9000 feet (2740m).
The four previous editions were received with wide acclaim. The fifth edition – with a limit of just 105 runners – will be held April 30 – May 1-, 2017
Entry is strictly limited to fifteen 2x teams and twenty-five 3x teams. NOTE: If we have 15 2x teams registered, and then any 3x team “loses” a runner prior to race day, that 3x team MUST replace that third runner to remain as a 3x team. (Only 15 2x teams may begin the race.)
The 10th annual KEYS100 will be held the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, 2017. The event is a series of point-to-point races, beginning in Key Largo—or Marathon for the 50 mile race and Big Pine Key for the 50 kilometer race–and ending in Key West on the Atlantic Ocean at Higgs Beach. KEYS100 also promotes charitable fundraising for “The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys” in support of their educational work with prostate and other cancers, free screenings and direct support of cancer patients and their families throughout the Keys. Individual runners and teams are invited to earn a refund of their full race entry fee by raising funds for the “Foundation”. (Visit the “Registration” page for details.) The KEYS100 includes four distinct competitions: individual races of 100 miles, 50 miles and 50 kilometers, and our original Florida Keys six runner 100 mile team relay race. In the individual races, runners may compete with a support crew or without. Eleven (11) full aid stations serve all individual runners; these are located at approximately ten (10) mile intervals. Coolers with ice and water are positioned at approximately five (5) mile intervals. People competing without a crew may place drop bags with personal gear at aid stations along the route. THE FOLLOWING RUNNER LIMITS WILL APPLY FOR 2017: 250 IN THE INDIVIDUAL 100 MILE RACE; 250 IN THE 50 MILE RACE; 200 IN THE 50 KILOMETER RACE; 150 TOTAL TEAMS, INCLUDING MILITARY. Register now; don’t be left out next May! Register now; don’t be left out in 2017!
A opção pelo mês de Julho prende-se com as nossas inspirações. Para estarmos no patamar de uma das provas mais extremas do mundo, precisamos de um factor externo bastante importante: o calor. Na Badwater o calor atinge facilmente os 60º no Californiano Vale da Morte. Na BR135+ as temperaturas podem a qualquer momento ter uma percentagem de humidade no ar de 95%. Na PT281+ ficaremos entre as duas.
Durante o mês de Julho, nos locais de passagem da prova, os termómetros passam facilmente dos 40º, além de ser um calor seco, sufocante, ardente. Este é um factor que facilmente coloca a PT281+ num patamar de dificuldade extrema.
PERCURSO
O percurso é feito de forma contínua, com partida de Belmonte e passagens por Sabugal, Sortelha, Penamacor, Serra de Malcata, Monsanto, Idanha-a-Nova, Tejo internacional, Vila Velha de Ródão e com final em Proença-a-Nova.
É feito em regime de semi auto-suficiência, ou seja, apesar de ser um percurso contínuo, com um tempo limite de conclusão, os participantes encontrarão ao longo do percurso vários Postos de Controlo, onde poderão descansar e reabastecer as suas forças.
Updated entrants list after the board of directors addition of a limited number of applicants, merit based, according to article 5f of admission regulations.. For any questions about your participation please contact us by email at info@spartathlon.gr
You can find the accepted participants in the Entrants List link Below.

Not all 100-mile (and longer) races are created equal; some are more suitable than others for preparing a Badwater 135 applicant to be successful at the world’s toughest foot race.
Our view of ultrarunning is expansive, with the experience of an epic route being intrinsic to what we call “exploring the outer and inner universes.” As well, the physical, mental, emotional, and logistical challenge of traversing a widely varying course with a plethora of terrain and climatic changes provides a more rewarding – and challenging – experience for all involved.
For 2017 and beyond, applicants with some of the following races on their resumé will have a greater likelihood of being selected to compete in the Badwater 135. (In other words, these races are not strictly required, but completion of some of them is highly recommended for all applicants.)
Brazil 135+, Brazil, 135mi / 217km or 160mi / 257km, Website
Western States 100, California, USA, 100mi / 162km, Website
Notes:
No applicant is guaranteed entry, except those noted above in the Badwater 135 Automatic Qualifying Spots section.
Special consideration is given to applicants who are BADWATER SALTON SEA veterans and/or BADWATER CAPE FEAR veterans, or who competed the entire BADWATER ULTRA CUP, in any previous year.
Some special consideration is given to applicants who are veteran Badwater 135 pacers. (A letter of recommendation from the athlete for whom you paced at the Badwater 135 is required. It must be sent by email from the person for whom you paced directly to the Badwater race office. It must be sent to adventurecorps-at-gmail-dot-com immediately prior to your application submission.)
You must have significant, relevant, applicable race results from the previous two years.
24-hour race results may NOT be submitted as equivalent to a 100-miler, regardless of how many miles are completed. However, feel free to include 24-Hour race results in your application, in addition to meeting the minimum qualifying events.
The three qualifying events of “100 continuous miles” means literally 100 continuous miles. As such, stage races do not count towards the minimum qualifying standards. However, please include any significant stage racing history in your application, in addition to the qualifying events.
Minimum application requirements must be attained prior to submitting the application to compete in the upcoming Badwater 135 Ultramarathon.
For every race mentioned, the application must include the full race name, year, place, and finishing time, plus the weblink to the specific webpage on the event website which will verify your claim. All links listed should be complete, i.e., start with http://.
“Officially finishing” any event mentioned is defined as meeting all time cutoffs, including the overall time limit, for the event in question.
Section B
Application Process
STEP 1: Between January 19 and February 2, 2017, applicants must visit the website to complete the extensive online Race Application Form. This is the only way to apply. There is no “paper application” that one may submit offline. The link for the application is at the bottom of this page.
STEP 2: As stated above, for those applicants who have experience as a pacer at the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon: A letter of recommendation from the athlete for whom the applicant paced at the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon is suggested. It must be sent by email from the person for whom the applicant paced directly to the Badwater race office. It must be sent to adventurecorps-at-gmail-dot-com prior to the application submission.
STEP 3: According to the timeline outlined on the website, we will notify each applicant via email whether he or she is, or is not, confirmed to compete in the 2017 Badwater 135 Ultramarathon. Each accepted applicant will then be emailed the three-page Entrant Contract, Entry Fee Payment Form, and Charitable Donation Form (this last page is optional). The accepted applicants will then have just two weeks to submit the paperwork and entry fee to the race office in order to secure their spots on the race roster. Those potential entrants who miss this deadline will lose their spot on their roster and that vacated spot will be made available to next most qualified applicant.
Due to permit, safety, and operational restrictions that limit the field to 100 entrants or less, we apologize now that many qualified applicants will not be accepted. We encourage those not invited to attend the race as a crew member, a gratifying experience in itself, as well as an outstanding addition to a future application to compete.
Step 4: Confirmed entrants in the race will have their name, essential biographical information, and perhaps some selected quotes posted on the race website, printed in BADWATER Magazine, and used in a promotional manner. Complete application forms and/or contact info for any or all athletes may be made available to the media or race sponsors, but will not be made available to the public or posted to the website.
Notes:
Only 100 applicants will be invited to compete.
All Applicants are encouraged to take the application process seriously and compose an extensive, detailed, and accurate application. Simply put, the applicants with the best applications (in terms of their athletic background, demonstrable commitment to sportsmanship, and in terms of their answers to questions posed on the application) will have the greatest chance of being selected to enter the race. Applications should be written as if the reader has never heard of the applicant and has no prior knowledge of the entrant or any of the events in which he/she has participated, including the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon.
Acronyms and initials should not be used when listing events and such; please type out the full name of any event, person, or place mentioned in the application. Keep in mind that the different committee members will review the applications and will have varying levels of direct awareness or personal knowledge of the applicants and the events mentioned in the applications.
In preparing your application, keep in mind the standard reasons that generally lead to some applicants not being invited:
The applicant only just met the minimum standards.
The applicant’s credentials are only recent, i.e., not a seasoned ultra endurance athlete with a breadth of experience.
The applicant’s credentials are only old, i.e. all or most of the credentials are from too long ago and may not reflect current ability.
The applicant has no experience in extreme heat or on the Badwater course as a pacer.
The applicant didn’t “prove” his or her claims (i.e., they said they paced at Badwater 135, but no letter of recommendation was received, or they claimed they finished or won any number of major races, but didn’t provide any proof of that).
The applicant submitted a “thin” application – not only few qualifications were listed, but not much time was put into the preparation of the application itself. (Sometimes the applicant assumed “we’ve already heard of him/her” and therefore didn’t provide the necessary details. Applicants should never assume we’ve heard of them or have heard of the events they mention in their application.)
There are always A LOT of applicants, all “qualified,” and thus some applicants must inevitably be turned away.
