Falklands Ultra
Run in the footsteps of history
Are you ready for the challenge of a lifetime?
This isn’t just a challenging endurance race in a forgotten corner of the globe. The Falklands Ultra is an extraordinary experience of a lifetime - a week-long adventure in a country that few have visited. Nowhere else in the world has such a unique mix of epic terrain, friendly wildlife and iconic battlefield history.
March 2022 will see the inaugural running of the Falklands Ultra - a single-stage international ultramarathon and marathon over the stunning open terrain of East Falkland in the South Atlantic. From Goose Green to Stanley via Ajax Bay, San Carlos, and past the hills of Mount Kent, Mount Longdon, Mount Harriet, Two Sisters, Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge.
With generous cut-off times competitors of a wide range of ability will be able to challenge themselves and find out what they are really capable of.
The Falklands Ultra is more than just the race. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and sample all that the Falklands have to offer! The event is an all-inclusive package with return flights from the UK (or Santiago), accommodation, food, the race and organised activities.

The Route
Inspired by the routes taken by British forces during the 1982 operation to liberate the Islands, the course winds its way from Goose Green to finish in the capital, Stanley. Along the way the 100-mile and marathon competitors will take in the magnificent views from the highest point in the Falklands, Mount Usborne, before descending to San Carlos Water to pick up the 100km runners. All will then make their way across the island past Teal Inlet and Estancia before the final approach to Stanley past Mount Kent, Mount Longdon, Two Sisters, Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge.
