Fancy something completely different, then how about joining us for our next series of epic VULTRA running events that take you around the world VIRTUALLY continent by continent.  

Then look no further than the 'Green Dragon VULTRA' brought to you by Phoenix Running. The Green Dragon VULTRA is a standalone Virtual running event, but also forms part of our next VULTRA Six Series. This is a series of six stages that enable you to travel the globe completing each 'unusual' stage as you go; all over the globe. Each VULTRA is just over 100 miles and you have up to 2 months to complete each virtual event. Complete all six and you'll earn the five Dragon s and then the epic Dragon Gate medal  

The Green Dragon VULTRA will start in the rather eerie Cemeterio Do Mutirao near Cacau Pirera in Amazonian Brazil, where we'll run west, then north along the AM-352 and then follow the Amazon trails out to the Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge near Novo Airao. 

The route is 110 miles and if this were an actual footrace then I'd take a bet it would one of the most remote and hard to get to 100+ milers on the planet.  

The 'Green Dragon VULTRA' has something for everyone; from seasoned ultra runners to those who are new to running and want to try something awesome. Oh and of course, there will be the epic bling - obviously!  

There are six ways we suggest you could go about completing your VULTRA;  

 

• The Green Dragon Vultra Continuous - all in one go
• The Green Dragon 48 Hour - 2 days
• The Green Dragon Week Long - 7 days
• The Green Dragon Fortnight Long - 14 days
• The Green Dragon Month Long - 30 days
• The Green Dragon Two Months Long - 61 days

The event will officially start on Monday 1st April 2024 from 12.00am (UK time) - there will be a Facebook race brief in the chat groups at 8.45am for a more civilised suggested start time of 09.00am (UK time). The event will then run through April 2024 and May 2024 and entry will remain open right through until late May 2024. You can choose when you actually start (anytime after Feb 1st) and you ultimately have until May 31st 2024 to complete your virtual run, but make sure you leave enough time to finish, depending on your entry type.

The exciting bit :  

You'll get a bespoke, sequential BIB when you sign up. There will be a route map and central results and progress landing page on the 'VULTRA' Phoenix Running website, and each competitor will have their own virtual location pin (complete with your name and BIB number for tracking your virtual progress) and you can even have your profile picture appear. Once you start your virtual run you'll submit your mileage as you go which, once approved, will automatically move you along the map. So, if you're doing the 'Week Long' option and go out and run 20 miles on day one, then you'll move 20 miles along our trails. Once you've submitted enough mileage to get to the finish then you are an official finisher of the Green Dragon VULTRA! Your total miles and total time will be added to the finisher results, you'll show as 'COMPLETE' and you can download your finishers' certificate and we'll automatically send you your epic bling!  

This is a challenge for literally anyone of any running ability. If you're new to running, fancy something a bit different, or fancy your first foray into multi-day endurance challenges, want to practice running consistent distances over consecutive days, or just want to see how many miles you can run in a week, then this is for you. And, if you're a seasoned ultra runner, then we'd love to have you aboard to see if you can cover the distance all in one go.  

The Green Dragon VULTRA is also event #5 in our latest VULTRA-Six Series
