Race program

Master 38 km. The 38 km distance is an excellent alternative for beginners and the best route for those who decide to test themselves in the semi-desert zone. Participants must be at least 18 years old. The distance limit is 7 hours;

The marathon program also includes official opening, closing and awarding ceremonies, watching films in the open air, soft drinks, Kazakh cuisine and all the delights of life in a tent camp.

Location

The semi-desert steppes of Elton are a unique park. There is no such nature anywhere else in Russia. The salt lake is located much below sea level in the Caspian lowland, its water area and coastal zone considered one of the hottest spots in the country. At the bottom of Elton there are salty springs, deposits of salts and mineral mud, the healing properties of which are known throughout the world. Very often this lake is compared to the Dead Sea. Elton is an untouched nature that enchants: herds of horses, sheep, eagles, owls, foxes, lizards and snow-white salt crystals on the coast. On the route of the marathon runners there are descents and ascents of endless semi-desert, where on the horizon the sky merges with the earth.

The terms of participation

Anyone from any country can take part in the race, subject to the above age restrictions. One of the few necessary conditions for participation is the presence of a medical certificate issued at least six months in advance, medical life and health insurance against accidents, and a small entry fee. The acceptable arsenal of a marathon runner’s toolkit includes only the essentials – a backpack, water, sunglasses and cream, a cap or baseball cap, and a phone. For Ultimate 100 miles athletes, this list is somewhat broader.

Not only runners, but also support groups are invited to participate in the event. Each Ultimate 100 miles participant is entitled to an individual team, which may consist of a vehicle crew and volunteers at stationary camps. Mobile and stationary food stations are organized for marathon runners throughout the entire distance.

Winners and runners-up are identified among two categories: “men” and “women”. Who will become the conqueror of Elton and the winner over himself will become known very soon.

Running is a great opportunity to see cities or nature from an unusual perspective. Vladivostok and Altai, Suzdal and Sochi, Pskov and Ufa, Nizhny Novgorod and Yekaterinburg - all of Russia in our New Year's survey! Today we go to the steppes near Lake Elton.

May 27-28, 2017. Elton Ultra-Trail

Distances: 160 km, 38 km

Vyacheslav Glukhov, organizer of the Elton Ultra-Trail ultramarathon

Why you should run: see the Elton salt lake, test yourself with distance and steppe heat, and recharge.

How do you assess the outgoing season? What did you manage to do and what didn’t work?

New emotions for our project were brought by a new coverage of participants, Elton’s partners, and fans of extreme running. The year was quite interesting. At the fourth marathon, a wonderful team was formed. The main thing in organizing such events is, of course, people. Moreover, when the event is not held within the city, but far from civilization. So the main success of the past season, first of all, was our trail team. Happy New Year to everyone, I wish you health, success, health and continued cooperation.

What's new at your race in 2017?

We have radically changed the distance of the next race. We made the first official 100-mile ultratrail in Russia – “Ultimate 100 miles”. ( 160 kilometers – noteBegaem.com). Let me remind you that the ultramarathon distance is laid in a semi-desert zone. The temperature record recorded on the track in Russia and Europe was + 50 degrees. We also changed the accompanying distance to 38 kilometers. It will be a difficult start. More difficult, but more interesting. There will be several innovations in the starting town, in terms of organization, food, and accommodation.

What changes will there be to the calendar?

The start, as in previous months, will take place at the end of May, on the 27th-28th. Now we will conduct it not in one day, but in two days. This is the main change. And everything is still the same. We are not going to postpone the start to cooler April, since the intense heat is the highlight of the trail. We strive to select the very best, to create an elite closed club to exclude running adventurers. We can say that the scorching heat indirectly helps us in this.

What difficulties do you face when organizing competitions?

The biggest difficulty is to find partners in our difficult times, to unite the team, to run a race high level. This task is complicated by the fact that the race takes place far from civilization, roads and tourist centers. This is the main difficulty and beauty of our ultramarathon.

New Year's wishes for runners.

I wish everyone willpower, intelligence, fewer injuries - sports and mental, successful starts in the new year!

It is no coincidence that the imperial eagle is the symbol of the most extreme ultra-trail in Russia. There is no place for a weak spirit and body on Elton.

“The royal road to the unconscious for all crazy people and not only...”, “Best sports festival Russia." This is exactly how participants described the elite trail race, the V Elton Desert Steppe Marathon, Elton Ultra-Trail, which took place on the shores of the unique salt lake Elton in the Volgograd region on May 27-28. Total in marathon competitions 350 runners from 55 Russian cities and various countries near and far abroad took part: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Finland, Mexico, Israel, Japan, Ukraine, Estonia and Belgium.

Marathon program

Let us remind you that the marathon program consisted of two races:

Master 38 km with a passage limit of 7 hours, designed mainly for beginners;
Ultimate 100 miles with a 24 hour completion limit for the marathon elite.

A mandatory condition for participation for everyone, without exception, is the availability of a medical certificate and insurance. Among the few restrictions are age restrictions: for Master 38 - at least 18 years old, for Ultimate 100 miles - at least 21 years old.

In conditions of extreme temperatures (Elton is one of the hottest spots in Russia) and difficult terrain, the marathon runners had to overcome several long climbs, a water obstacle and a series of turns in the desert landscape. On the route there were points “Trail”, “Food”, “Accompaniment of participants”, “ Universal help organizers,” whose work was provided by 150 volunteers aged from 14 to 80 years. The finishers of the race were greatly delighted by the ice bath, where they could cool their tired feet and even dive in headfirst.

The organizers of the event presented a rich program for the marathon participants and guests of the festival, which consisted of ceremonies opening and closing, light show, open-air cinema, buffet, several concerts.

Marathon winners

The ultramarathon race took place on the evening of May 27. 86 people decided to test their strength and endurance. The route consisted of 2 circles around the lake. The first part of the 100-mile distance had to be completed in at least half the allotted time. This required condition to continue the journey further.

Only half of the marathon runners completed the strenuous trail. Some runners left the race due to poor health, some did not meet the deadline.

The conqueror of Elton was marathon runner from St. Petersburg Maxim Voronkov. He covered the difficult route through the semi-desert hot wild steppes of Elton in 14.5 hours. The second triumphant is Konstantin Vasiliev, the third is Ilya Erofeev. Ekaterina Andreitseva became the strongest and most resilient among the girls. It should be noted that both Maxim Voronkov and Ekaterina Andreitseva became confident leaders from the first kilometers of the distance.

Of course, there were more people willing, but it was necessary to take into account the restrictions of the reserve. Together with fans, artists and volunteers, there were about two thousand people on the site.

The first to start, on May 26 at 20.00, were 100 participants in the 100-mile race and more than 150 athletes who decided to conquer the 84-kilometer distance.

In 2017, she gained the status of Russian champion in daily running.

“Elton in the form in which he appeared to followers of trail running in previous years will no longer exist,” announced ultramarathon director Vyacheslav Glukhov. The organizers plan to leave one distance (200–250 km), which can be overcome personally or in a relay race. In addition, options are being discussed to expand the geography of desert races (Astrakhan region, Dagestan, Chechnya, Kazakhstan), as well as organizing an entire tourist festival with a space for radical self-expression, similar to the eight-day Burning Man in the USA.
