Ultra High: Running at 18,000 Feet

ULTRA HIGH follows the brutal race to complete a 137-mile ultra marathon across the two highest motorable passes in the Himalayas. With just 60 hours to finish, six elite ultra runners from around the globe face off in the thin air of Northern India—starting 50 miles outside the city of Leh.

The course pushes them to their limits—winding over the towering Khardung La and Tanglang La passes, with peaks rising to 18,300 feet. Ray Sanchez looks to shatter the course record, but Sharon Gayter of the U.K. has her eyes on first place. Battling extreme altitude, hypothermia, exhaustion, and the ever-thinning air, each runner must decide how much they’re willing to give to reach the finish.

With the intensity of the Tour de France—but on foot—ULTRA HIGH is a raw, high-altitude fight for survival and self-discovery.
