UltraMad Madagascar 2026

"Desperately Seeking Susan" "Desperately seeking a crazy adventurer"—did we knock on the right door? 🚪 In any case, it’s another hell of an experience we’re offering you, one that will pull you out of your day-to-day rut and shake you up 🌀. This time, it’s not the C3 you should take out of the garage, but rather a Boieng 737 ✈️ bound for Madagascar 🇲🇬. But what race are we talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, let us present the UltraMad Madagascar 🐒. We won’t keep you in suspense any longer: as you can imagine, we’re talking about a trail—an ultra-trail 🏃‍♀️, even—but don’t worry, it will be done stage by stage; little by little, the bird builds its nest! 🐣 All in all, you’ll cover 150 km for 6,035 m D+ across 3 stages! 🤯 So, want to know how you’re going to organize it? It’s simple: once you’ve landed on this beautiful island 🏝️, you’ll need to head to Antsirabe to get ready for the start of the first stage! 🏁 To kick things off, you’ll take on the Ibity Massif for 40.3 km! This appetizer includes 1,692 m D+; you’ll need to stay steady for 3 days, so hang in there! For the second stage, you’ll tread the lands of the Zafimaniry country, listed as World Heritage! 🌍 You’ll dive into Madagascar’s cultural authenticity on a route of 39.5 km and 1,390 m D+ 💪. For now you won’t be pushing too hard on the kilometers, but the 3rd and final stage (yes, already) will give you a run for your money 💨. It’s in the Andringitra National Park and Tsaranoro Valley that you’ll have to face a majestic stage of 66 km in the heart of wild nature, and experience total immersion in the mountains! 🏔️ There will be 2,871 m D+ and 2,722 m D- for this stage—enough to finish in style 💅.

So, then? We can tell you’re already out of breath 🥾—it’s probably because you haven’t started training yet! 🔥 We can still give you one more compelling reason to join the adventure! UltraMad is organized by "Madagascar’s Solidarity Trails" and notably supports a charitable cause 🤝. Indeed, UltraMad supports local associations in Tsaranaro! ❤️ So you too, come be part of the change (and you can do it simply by running)! 🏃‍♂️

If you’ve chosen to take the plunge, you’ll need to plan a few extra days to enjoy the local activities! ✌️ Once you’re there, stroll through the picturesque streets of Antsirabe, a town known for its thermal baths and refined crafts 🧵. Since you’re in an exotic place, we recommend visiting Lake Tritriva, a breathtaking natural site, perfect for a relaxing break by the water (especially after the race) 🏞️. And to see more of the local culture, discover the tea plantations of Sahambavy 🌿—a lush, soothing getaway to enjoy with your loved ones! 😎
