Grand Canyon Ultra Marathon
A new race giving participants 24 hours to run 126km - three marathons - across the vast, wild, remote plateau of the Grand Canyon North Rim in the US will take place in September.
Runners will need to carry their own food and survival equipment, although there'll be water and medical stations at regular intervals.
The route reaches up to 9,000ft above sea level and offers views of towering pine trees punctuated by large open valleys of grass and streams - and of course views over the canyon itself.
Afterwards there'll be a celebratory meal and prize giving in Las Vegas. Details: www.acrossthedivide.com
