About This Race
The Gobi March is the 4 Deserts Race Series's Mongolia stage — a 250km self-sufficiency ultra-marathon across the stunning landscapes of the Mongolian Gobi Desert over 7 days. Competitors carry all food and equipment, crossing sand dunes, dry riverbeds, rocky plateaus, and nomadic grasslands past traditional ger camps. One of the most remote and spectacular running environments on Earth, with traditional Mongolian hospitality at every stage camp.
