Yes. UB515 ULTRAMAN BRAZIL was born from the desire to have an event in Brazil with the same characteristics as the Ultraman World Championships. It is important to note that the UB515 ULTRAMAN BRAZIL Race Directors have, combined, more than 30 participations in UB515, Ultraman World Championships and Ultraman Canada.

No, although the swimming, cycling and running distances are the same as the Ultraman World Championships, the two events are not co-located.

No, since the two events are not associated.

Yes, but the selection and approval criteria are entirely at the discretion of the Ultraman World Championships organizers. Therefore, you may or may not be selected to participate in the event. However, it is important to note that completing the UB515 ULTRAMAN BRAZIL may become an important element of your athletic resume, considering the possibilities of participating in Ultraman competitions and other events where participation is by invitation.

The organization's preliminary analysis of the resume aims to confirm that candidates have the physical and psychological conditions to participate in the UB515 Brasil Ultra Triathlon. The race directors also look for "something extra" in candidates - other elements beyond simply seeking an athletic challenge - that will generate a unique group of participants each year. Therefore, when applying, make it clear what other elements are motivating you to participate.

Because having completed a triathlon with Ironman distances in the twelve months prior to the race is an indicator that the candidate may be physically fit to participate in the UB515 ULTRAMAN BRAZIL. The maximum time of 14 hours is an indicator that the athlete will be able to physically complete the maximum time of twelve hours for each of the three days of the event. Covering 515 kilometers exclusively autonomously and in up to 36 hours should not be underestimated, as the high DNF rate of UB515 athletes (including some of the best athletes in the world of ultra triathlon) proves.

The UB515 ULTRAMAN BRAZIL is a unique event in terms of the physical and psychological fitness profile of the participating athletes and may push them to the limits of their physical and mental capabilities. Therefore, the athlete must fully assume all risks related to their physical and psychological health. In terms of logistics, this is also a unique event. Unlike other triathlons with shorter distances, all routes are open to vehicle traffic, thus generating all the risks inherent to this context.
