The World’s Most Exclusive Suffering.

World-Class Ultra Distance, Born in Colombia.

Go get the DAMN MILE.

Creating world-class ultra-distance races in the heart of Colombia. We pair extreme challenge with breathtaking landscapes and flawless execution to put Colombia on the global map for elite athletes.

ULTRADISTANCES

Pushes the boundaries of human endurance. While a standard marathon often focuses on speed and hitting specific time splits, ultrarunning shifts the focus toward survival, strategy, and mental fortitude.

  • Exploring Unknown Limits: For many, the marathon eventually becomes a known variable. Ultras introduce massive uncertainty regarding how the mind and body will react after 10, 15, or 30+ hours of continuous movement.
  • A Metaphor for Life: Ultras are defined by extreme highs and devastating lows. Learning to problem-solve through nausea, blistered feet, and absolute exhaustion builds a unique resilience that runners apply to their daily lives.
  • Mind Over Muscle: Beyond a certain mileage, physical training yields to sheer willpower. It is a sport where stubbornness, patience, and mental toughness dictate who crosses the finish line.
UP TO RUN THAT DAMN MILE?
WHY DAMN MILE?

It’s not just a name; it’s a mindset. It’s that moment at 3:00 AM when your legs are screaming and the trail feels endless. That’s the Damn Mile. That’s where the real race begins.

1

The "Second Dawn" Euphoria

Running continuously through the day, deep into the night, and watching the sun rise again provides a profound, almost spiritual feeling of rebirth and perspective.
2

Camaraderie Over Competition

In an ultra, the enemy is the distance. This fosters a culture where competitors actively help, encourage, and look out for one another.
3

Stripping Away the Ego

When you run for 10, 15, or 20+ hours, you get too tired to pretend to be anyone else. Ultras strip away your social masks, leaving you completely raw, authentic, and vulnerable.
4

Radical Self-Compassion

You cannot bully yourself through 100 miles. To survive an ultra, you have to learn to speak kindly to yourself when you are at your absolute lowest point, teaching you deep self-love.
5

The Ultimate Flow State

In a world full of digital distractions and constant notifications, an ultra forces you to be 100% present. For hours on end, your only job is to put one foot in front of the other, breathe, and eat. It is the ultimate form of active meditation.
6

The Pure Power of Willpower

Beyond a certain mileage, physical fitness becomes irrelevant. Your muscles are depleted, and your legs scream to stop. Crossing the finish line becomes a 100% mental game of stubbornness. Proving to yourself that your mind controls your body is the ultimate victory.

DML Backyard Ultra

Running a Backyard Ultra at Xielo Skydive Colombia combines the extreme endurance of "last person standing" racing with the high-energy atmosphere of a world-class skydiving dropzone. Located in Flandes, Tolima, this venue offers a unique backdrop where runners share the space with aircraft and parachutists.

  • The “Dropzone” Vibe: Unlike traditional trail or road ultras, you are running in a hub for extreme sports. You’ll likely see skydivers landing nearby as you complete your loops.
  • Top-Notch Facilities: Xielo Skydive features a hotel, restaurant, and a swimming pool that is free for friends and family to use while they cheer you on.
  • Flat Terrain: Being a skydiving zone, the ground is generally flat and secure, which can lead to longer races as it’s less physically taxing than mountainous terrain.
