2025 Challenge - The Jungle Ultra - The Amazon. Starting 1st June 2025 It all kicks off from the Manu National Park, Peru. Set deep in the rainforest, the impenetrable nature of this jungle is the reason it remains untouched, making this one of the toughest races in the world. The journey from cloud forest to Amazon basin, fighting my way through suffocating undergrowth, is broken by river crossing after crossing. This is one of the hardest ultra marathons in the world. Choked with mud and humidity, the thin air doubles the effort required to move, testing all of your physical and mental resilience. This is a race like no other, and I’m buzzing to face this challenge head on!! Distance 240km, 5 days to complete. Self-efficient. 🙌 I have chosen to do this race for Suffolk Mind, after recently raising money for this charity with our Airborne Fit 24hr challenge - I have been amazed by the hard work and dedication they give to the Suffolk community and shocked by the figures. This charity needs to be supported so they can continue to support us as a community. I will update you on my training.
Luke Read this sounds beyond tough but what an absolutely awesome (despite being gruelling) experience. 👏👏👏
