All WaterTribe events are dangerous events as defined by Florida law and common
sense. You are responsible for your own safety. You must read and
understand the warning before you register for this event.
The Ultra Marathon is an unsupported, expedition style adventure race for kayaks,
canoes, and small boats. The distance is roughly 62 miles depending on your course
selection. There is a time limit of 2 days or less. Your safety and well being are
completely up to you.
Unsupported means that there are no safety boats or support crews to help you during
the race. You are not allowed to have a support crew follow you or meet you during
the race. It is OK to have family or friends meet you at the official checkpoints,
but they cannot provide anything other than emotional support. See the official
WaterTribe rules for more details.
Expedition style means that you must carry the same type of equipment and supplies
that you would carry on a major expedition lasting 4 weeks or more. Camping equipment,
food, water, safety, communication, etc. is required. See the Rules and Warning
link at the top of this page
for the official required equipment list for more details.
Although this is a race, many participants are more interesting in cruising and
adventure. Whether you are a cruiser or racer is up to you. Just getting to the
starting line is a major accomplishment and only about 40% of starters are able
to finish. You should be an expert kayaker and/or sailor before
you consider this challenge.
SPECIAL NOTE: As of UM2008 the required finish
time is noon on Sunday.
Note that the WaterTribe Marathon runs concurrently with the Everglades Challenge.
