Race Description
KAEM Ultra is a 5 day, 4 stage desert foot race. Running alongside KAEM Big Daddy, this event offers the BEST mix of everything. You get to experience the Kalahari and all its magic in an extreme way in just 5 days, covering 160km over 4 stages in extreme conditions BUT you dont have to run with a full pack of between 8 and 10kg.
Starting and finishing in the Augrabies Falls National Park, the route runs through the Park with beautiful scenes of wildlife and protected areas where the distinctive Quiver Trees stand tall against arid desert landscapes. The route also traverses remote areas and private farmlands where very few people ever set foot on, as well as cultivated vineyards along the Orange River where you can experience the tranquillity of the Green Kalahari.
KAEM is the four-letter word for CAMARADERIE here lifelong bonds are formed between like-minded trail adventurers from all over the world. Here you become part of a group of friends who become your KAEM family, forever!
