About
X-Treme Challenge Cup
The X-Treme Challenge Cup is a set of high-endurance sports challenges designed only for those men and women who want to stand out from the pack and achieve immortality.
The X-Treme Challenge Cup’s poly sports require the poly-athlete to assume significant physical risks and behavioral responses to life threats and pain yet produce profound excitement and adrenaline. Furthermore, these poly athletes are drawn to these seven events because they enjoy being competitive and are inspired by dangerous challenges while facing the unknown.
This is because the extreme conditions they have to live in are strictly related to their interpretation of life or their need for a hard life, different from everyday life
The X-Treme Challenge Cup includes
This is the world’s toughest footrace. A 245 km ultra-running course in the Sahara Desert where temperatures regularly reach 50°C.
On top of that, the participant must be self-sufficient, carrying everything he needs in his backpack, including six-day food, medical supplies, and a sleeping bag. The participant must run the equivalent of six marathons in six days.
Rowing across the Atlantic
Rowing 6,000 km unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean from continent to continent. Open ocean rowing challenges you both physically and mentally.
The depth and vastness of the Atlantic Ocean cannot be replicated anywhere and with nothing. Ocean rowing is the most challenging style in extreme events.
Every ocean rower encounters aggressive surf through fierce waves and unusual weather conditions while traversing the ocean. In this vast ocean, if an accident occurs, whatever type of accident, you must resolve it on your own.
Cycling across
N. America
This is a 7,000 km total distance and 46,000 m total elevation from the Pacific Ocean/Seattle to the Atlantic Ocean/Boston through the American Rockies and Canada.
Ultra-cycling is about pushing the limits of your fitness. The most brutal elements in this challenge are the elevation, the weather conditions, and the physical and mental endurance.
7 International
Marathons
Running the following international marathons: Athens (the traditional running course), Washington DC, Chicago, Toronto, Rome, Paris, and Berlin.
Hellathlon Madness
This is a poly sports international race with a 1,800 km and 20,000 m elevation course that includes cycling, coastal rowing, climbing, and ultra-running across Greece.
Hellathlon Madness is an opportunity of a lifetime to test what you’re made of, your endurance, and stoicism in extreme poly sports, back-to-back, including cycling, climbing, coastal rowing, and ultra-running. This unforgettable experience occurs in the cradle of civilization, Greece.
This extreme challenge is only for crazy and bold people willing to be battered every minute, hour, and day with the cruel defiance of their bodies and thoughts in unforgiving temperatures and extreme terrains while cycling roads and mountains and fighting the sea.
It is the oldest and the world’s biggest cross-country ski race, 90 km.
