Lost Worlds 100k Trail Series from Lost Worlds 100k - Race Series on Vimeo.

This is the race series for you!

Join us in 2012 for an international series of non-stop 100k and 50k foot races taking you to the world’s most inspiring World Heritage sites. Endurance events at places of matchless and enduring beauty.

These places are widely known for their otherworldly beauty and mystery but the rugged and scenic trails and route selected by our experienced race staff is going to be the main feature of each event. 1st stop. Ireland and the Giant's Causeway.

Each race is a qualifier for a final 100 mile race set in one of the most spectacular locations in the world. Only those entered in the full 100k or 50k distance categories as individuals or teams are eligible.

In order to participate in the 100 mile final race you must qualify by either completing three of our 50k or 100k races in the series or by placing in the top 25 percent of the field at any of the qualifying races and categories.

1st race: April - 2012
Giant's Causeway- along the northeastern coast of Ireland.
Registration, race briefing and awards will be held at the Bay View Hotel, Port Ballentrea.

2nd race: October - 2012
Morne Trois Pitons National Park - on the amazingly unspoiled Caribbean island of Dominica. October

3rd race: early 2013
Trail to Tikal - Belize to Guatemala and the legendary site of Mayan ruins in the mountain forests of Guatemala.

Choose your race:
a) Ultras (100k or 50k)
b) Team Relay Trek (100k or 50k) relay teams of two or four split route in half.
c) Trail Trek (100k or 50k) teams of 4 trek/travel together.

The races will offer a variety of terrains, environments and adventure for individuals and teams that have come to run the route or fast pack it and take in the views: Both will require tenacity and mental toughness but the Trail Trek is designed for fast packers who will have a more generous time cut off to cover the entire distance.

Race 2
Dominica Crossing - Dominica Island
100k and 50k. October 25th, 2012



Welcome to Dominica Crossing, a remote and rugged island trail race.

The Caribs, who settled here in the 14th century, called the island Waitikubuli, which means 'Tall is her Body.'

Dominica (DOM-in-EEK-a): This small volcanic island has many names but they all point to a place of unmatched charm, incredible beauty and dramatic terrain features that has been left preserved and unspoiled in its quiet corner of the Caribbean. It is like stepping into Jurassic Park, with several peaks over 4,000ft. It also boasts one of only two World Heritage Sites in the Eastern Caribbean - Dominica's Morne Trois Pitons National Park.

Starting at sea level this point to point race will take you right through the heart of the park and climb up the island's highest peak, Morne Diablotins, 1447 metres (4747 ft).

Sandwiched between Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south it marks the midpoint of the Lesser Antilles. The island has an area of 754 sq km (291 sq mi) and is 47 km (29 mi) long by 26 km (16 mi) wide, with a coastline of 148 km (92 mi). It is covered in lush swathes of primary and secondary rainforest, interrupted only by rivers and waterfalls. The volcanic peaks of Dominica's interior dominate the landscape. In fact, with nine active volcanoes, the island has one of the highest concentrations of volcanoes anywhere in the world.

The Waitikubuli Trail is just now complete and completely traverses the rugged Caribbean island of Dominica. The local Carib people are looking forward to welcoming international runners with open arms and lively spirits. They are excited to showcase the trail and all that the island has to offer visitors at Dominicas first 100k ultra and 50k ultra. We have been granted special permission by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MOAF) to stage an international Trail Race in Oct 2012.

Getting to Dominica:
Two major airlines offer daily flights. The most popular route from the U.S. is via Puerto Rico on American Eagle and form the U.K. or Carribean, via Antigua or Barbados on LIAT.

We'll see you there.

Peace.
