The pans don’t sleep. Neither do you.

Out here, the universe has a way of making your suffering feel very, very small.

A pretty cool place to start and finish the Salt Pans Ultra. An even better place to hang out.

The Salt Pans Ultra race village is a pretty unique place to start and finish your race. It’s also where we commune around the mopane wood fire. An awesome baobab backdrop doesn’t hurt!

Our May webinar takes place tomorrow Wednesday 13th May at 6pm CAT. We will be covering equipment, footwear and gear generally.

SALT PANS ULTRA: WHERE YOU DISCOVER WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF

In today's relentless world, finding true solitude—just you, your body, and sand beneath your feet—has become harder than ever to find.

The Salt Pans Ultra offers something rare: a space to strip away the noise and dig deep into who you really are. This isn't just another race. It's a journey inward across one of the most unforgiving and beautiful landscapes you'll ever encounter.

📍 September 25-26, 2026 | Sua Pan, Botswana 🇧🇼

The Sua Pan doesn't care about your PRs. It doesn't bend to your will. You'll face it on its terms—50K, 100K, or 100 miles of vast, crystalline wilderness—and whether you conquer it or it humbles you, you'll emerge transformed.

What awaits you:

🌅 Alien terrain that forces presence with every step
💪 Conditions that reveal your true character
🤝 A community of runners who understand the calling
✨ An experience that strips you down and builds you back stronger

You'll leave with new friends forged in shared suffering, memories seared into your soul, and a deeper understanding of your limits—and what lies beyond them.

This is for runners who want to travel to the ends of the earth because they know the best races aren't about buckles. They're about becoming.
