Run until
you burnout

Burnout Ultra 2026

The date is set. On 5 September 2026 at 16:00, a hand-picked field lines up in Biel for 24 hours of the same 5.3 km loop.

One lap on the hour, every hour. No stages, no cut-off table, no medal for showing up. You either make the next horn or your race is over.

There are no spectators at the camp. Everything you will see of this race comes through the stream.
