Marathons in Mongolia

Mongolian steppe marathon that does not run on asphalt. The half-winning prize is one horse for both man and woman. With the prairie run without any landmarks, the follow-up is perfect every year with human wave tactics. This tour combines participation in the Mongolian steppe marathon and running in the prairie, visiting the homes of Mongolian nomads and looking for souvenirs.

The Ulaanbaatar Marathon is the race not to miss, annually organized by Mongolia’s Ulaanbaatar municipal office on the third Saturday of May. This is an opportunity to run the streets of the Capital City along with hundreds of locals and other International runners. The marathon starts from the main square and finishes back there.

In the morning, the sun is already raised, the air is cool and the sun send out moverless, lovely light the „12th. INTERNATIONAL GOBI MARATHON MONGOLIA“ starts. The track is going through the probably most impressive part of the landscape including sand dunes, Mongolian dessert steppes, the world wide known famous Saxaul forest and the dinosaur excavation area. The ground is hard sand and quite good for running. Every five kilometre is a station with food and drinks, a small first medical help station, which hopefully no one would need.



The Gobi March is a 7-day, 250 km / 155 mile footrace that takes place in the stunning Karakorum region of Central Mongolia. Through the seven days competitors traverse through the vast Mongolian steppes, sand dunes and great rock valleys as they complete the 250-kilometer / 155-mile course. The race goes through the Khar Bukh Balgas Fortress, many stupas and temples, traditional Mongolian ger villages, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre of the Orkhon Valley and finally ends at the Ancient City of Karakorum.
