Overview
Organised by The Hell Race in Dholavira, India, the White Sand Ultra 100mi features a time limit tighter than 83% of 100mi cut-offs and more generous than only 17%. With a 28-hour limit across the 161-kilometre distance, runners face a required minimum pace of 10.4 minutes per kilometre to stay ahead of the sweeps.
The event runs as an out-and-back road race through the Rann desert in Kutch, Gujarat, taking competitors across largely flat, scarred and smooth asphalt stretches. The starting lineup remains exceptionally intimate, with a field smaller than 87% of 100mi peers and bigger than 12%. Following its debut in 2025, where 6 runners completed the distance, the race demands sustained forward movement on paved ground with minimal company and virtually no cushion against the clock.
