Delighting in the Details: Bryon Powell's 2024 Ultra Gobi 400k Gear
Briefly

In October 2024, I participated in the Ultra Gobi 400k, a grueling self-supported race across the Gobi Desert. Covering 250 miles within 142 hours, I navigated to checkpoints solely reliant on my preparation and training. My efforts led to a time of 68 hours and 59 minutes, securing victory and setting a men's record. The race required meticulous planning in gear, nutrition, hydration, and sleep, making it both a physical and logistical challenge, yet a rewarding experience that I reflect upon with pride.
Running the 2024 Ultra Gobi 400k was a pinnacle achievement for me, showcasing my preparation, resilience, and ability to set a new record in an extreme environment.
With no crews or pacers, this self-supported race required careful logistical planning and relentless determination to navigate the challenges of the Gobi Desert.
