After Bangladesh’s first Backyard Ultra, ElevateBD is back with the country’s toughest multisport race and its first-ever Aquathlon! Introducing DELTA MAN – Edition 1.0, with our signature motto, “Go Far, Impact Further.”
The Story Behind the Name
For thousands of years, the combined forces of sediment carried by the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna river systems, countless rivers and tributaries, and the meeting of land and sea have shaped Bangladesh into one of the world’s largest deltas. This delta, our homeland, is the inspiration behind the name Delta Man.
A Delta Man knows how to flow like a river across this delta, move against the current, and rediscover himself by overcoming every obstacle.
The Challenge
Our event brings together three distinct race formats built around swimming, cycling and running. The demanding waters of Kaptai Lake and the challenging ups and downs of the hilly roads are ready to put you to the test.
Are you ready to prove yourself as a different breed of Bangladeshi, a true Delta Man?
