This event has attracted more than 1,108 participants from various parts of Mongolia. The race features a long track of up to 15 kilometers, where participants compete in an atmosphere filled with challenge and excitement. According to Guinness, the winning camels completed the race in 35 minutes and 12 seconds in the windy steppe region.

One of the conditions for participating in the race was that the camels had to be two-humped Bactrian camels of pure Mongolian descent and not less than four years old.
