BBU 2025 Newsletter 1
BBU 2025 is Officially SOLD OUT – and We’re Just Getting Started!
We’re super happy to announce that BBU 2025 has sold out in record time! The buzz is real, the excitement is contagious, and we can’t wait to welcome each and every one of you to the Brandberg for what promises to be an unforgettable adventure.
What makes this event truly special is YOU – our incredible community. We have a full spectrum of runners joining us: from course record holders, past winners, and die-hard supports (the legends that carry the winner to the last lap), to first-timers, fun runners, marathoners, and everyone in between. This is that kind of event – where everyone shines in their own way and every km counts. And we’ll be there to cheer you on, every step of the way!
Welcome Back RMB Namibia – Since 2015!
We are incredibly proud to welcome back RMB Namibia as our prestigious presenting partner. RMB has supported our events since 2015, and their unwavering commitment to uplifting community-driven initiatives and supporting Namibian outdoor adventure is something we truly value. Their support helps us grow BBU into the meaningful, inclusive and memorable event it’s become. Thank you, RMB Namibia!
A Quick Note on Accommodation
Namibia Ultra Trails is not affiliated with Brandberg Rest Camp – they are our amazing, lovely, friendly race venue only. If you’re planning to stay there, please contact them directly to make your accommodation arrangements (do not use booking(dot)com, it will show zero availability since the lodge is blocked out for the event). Alternatively, contact one of the other lovely Uis accommodation establishments listed HERE on our website.
Ultra runners – a night gear reminder
If you’re tackling the ultra, remember: night gear is mandatory and will be checked at registration. No gear check = no access to night loops, no exceptions.
Required gear: Clothing with sufficient reflective strips (front and back) and a headlamp with spare batteries for night loops is required. A reflective safety vest is recommended. Gear will be checked again at the onset of the first night loop.
Extra Meal Tickets – Coming Soon!
Planning to bring supporters or stay for the weekend vibe? Additional meal tickets will go on sale soon – stay tuned for details.
Causes We Care About
