On October 22nd and 23rd, 2022, a competition like no other will take place in Mexico: The Great Desert Race. An Ultra Trail where some of the best athletes from more than ten countries will participate.

This challenge is different; it’ll be an encounter with yourself full of adrenaline and strength, where you get deep into the salt paths of the ancestors, a magical place that takes you through the dunes of the Great Altar Desert to then find the sea breeze of the Cortes’s Sea in Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) in Sonora, Mexico. You’ll also get the chance to camp below a breathtaking sky full of stars. A unique experience you should live.

Rocky Point is the scene of a competition never seen before in the country where the runners can sign up for any of the four distances that go through spectacular natural views that will amaze you with their beaut: Beach Fun Run (10K), Beach & Desert Run (25K), Mega Desert Run (50K) and Ultra Trail (75K).

Save the date for October 22nd and 23rd for The Great Desert Race, in collaboration with the Government of Sonora and the support of the Department of tourism Federal and State. This event looks to promote the sport and grow tourism in an area yet unexplored for most people outside the country, but with important potential.

Pack your bags and test your limits!
