The Ultra Relay Run is a one-of-a kind 24-hour running challenge that will bring together runners and the wider athletic community to battle it out - night and day - for top spot on the podium.

The Story:
Inspired by the 24-hour relay run organised in the 80s and 90s at Cairo American College in Maadi, this newly revived version is being organised by The TriFactory in collaboration with WAVE and one of its youth-based social entrepreneurship programs, which is currently being led by CAC students. The social entrepreneurship initiative they selected is to organise a non-profit sports event in support of the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation and its new Global Heart Centre. The intended outcome of the Ultra Relay Run is to cover the cost of one of the brand new, state-of-the-art, ICU facilities at the Global Heart Centre.

The Event:
Building on The TriFactory’s classic relay run event, typically organised at night during Ramadan, the Ultra Relay Run will combine two formats:

1. The 2-Hour Relay Run
The standard relay format.

2. The 24-Hour Ultra Relay Run
Runners compete continuously from 6:00 pm on Friday until 6:00 pm on Saturday.

The Venue:
AUC Track, American University in Cairo Main Campus, New Cairo
