The competitors run with minimal sleep, all the while trying to accumulate as many miles as possible. These events stretch upwards from 24 (like the Self-Transcendence 12/24 Basel race) and 48 hour races such as the Surgères 48 hour race.

Multidays By Time

The standard time-frame is the six day race, the most famous being Colac Six Day Race in Australia and the Self-Transcendence 6 Day Race in New York and of course the Marathon des Sables. Other race time-frames exist as well as do events based on distance, the longest certified race being the Self-Transcendence 3100 mile race in New York.

Multidays By Distance

Trans-national events exist like the Trans-Am, Deutschlandlauf and the Transe Gaule as well as point to point and stage events and there is a TransEurope footrace planned for 2012.

Despite the amount of time required to complete these events, these races are a tremendous opportunity to discover one's capacity, to test one's limits and to transcend perceived difficulties and learn to operate most efficiently within a given environment.
