Domingo runs 50km Dodo Trail EXTREME

Domingo used an X post on July 9 to document what he called his “biggest sporting test yet,” sharing video from Mauritius tied to the Dodo Trail XTREME challenge. The post said the effort covered 50 kilometers with more than 3,500 meters of elevation gain and said more updates would be posted later on Instagram. The video, attached to X post ID 2075173919498097066, was geolocated in Mauritius in the source briefing. The post matched the headline specifications of the Dodo Trail’s longest-format race listed by organizers. ### What exactly did Domingo say he was doing? Domingo said on July 9 that he was taking on the Dodo Trail EXTREME in Mauritius and described it as his biggest sporting test yet, according to the social briefing and linked X post. The post said the route was 50 km with 3,500 meters or more of climbing and told followers to expect further updates on Instagram later. (dodotrail.com) The X post itself was the immediate trigger for the story, but the race details align with the event’s official specifications. The Dodo Trail website lists the XTREME 50 km as one of the toughest trail races in Mauritius and gives the elevation profile as 3,500 m+. ### How hard is the Dodo Trail XTREME course? The Dodo Trail organizers describe the XTREME 50 km as a route “reserved only for flying dodos” across the southwestern part of Mauritius. (dodotrail.com) The official race page says runners go from Le Morne to Tamarin on technical trails, pass through eight private estates and climb five summits. The race website says the broader Dodo Trail event is an international mountain trail run in Mauritius that crosses some of the highest and most spectacular peaks in the island’s southwest. (dodotrail.com) A separate race listing says the long-format trails are ITRA-registered, placing the event inside the established trail-running calendar rather than as a one-off challenge. ### Where does the 50 km race start and finish? (dodotrail.com) ROAG Sports Events Administration, which lists race logistics for the 2026 event, says the XTREME 50 km starts at 5:00 a.m. at Emba Filao in Le Morne and finishes at Riverland Mauritius in Tamarin. The same listing identifies the XTREME race day as Saturday, July 11, 2026. The official Dodo Trail page also describes the XTREME 50 km as a point-to-point journey from Le Morne to Tamarin. (dodotrail.com) That route places runners across the island’s southwest rather than on a closed loop. ### Was Domingo posting during race week or after the race? July 9 fell two days before the official July 11 start date listed for the 2026 XTREME 50 km by ROAG and one day before a broader July 10 event listing on Rando-Trail & Nature. (roag.org) That timing suggests Domingo’s post came during race week, before the official XTREME start shown on the event calendar. (dodotrail.com) The available sources do not independently confirm whether Domingo was previewing the race, training on the course, or referring to the official event effort in progress. What is confirmed is that his post used the Dodo Trail EXTREME label and the same 50 km and 3,500 m+ figures used by organizers. ### What comes next for followers tracking the effort? Domingo said in the July 9 post that more race updates would appear on Instagram later, according to the social briefing. (roag.org) The next fixed event milestone on the public race calendar is the XTREME 50 km start at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 11, from Emba Filao in Le Morne, with the finish listed at Riverland Mauritius in Tamarin.
