Sure, here's the corrected version with explanations for each sentence:

The ULTRA race challenge! Are you fit enough to compete in this adventure challenge? The five-day event will attract some of the world's best athletes! Racing on land and in water, competitors will...

1. swim across lakes / beaches / rivers Explanation: "Swim across lakes" is correct because it matches the water context. "Beaches" and "rivers" are not appropriate choices for swimming "across."

2. cycle through an enormous volcano / valley / rainforest Explanation: "Cycle through an enormous volcano" doesn't make sense in the context. "Valley" and "rainforest" are more suitable options for cycling "through."

3. climb cliffs / the ocean / a rock Explanation: "Climb cliffs" is correct as it fits the context. "The ocean" is not something you climb, but "a rock" is appropriate.

4. run over sandy waves / deserts / dunes Explanation: "Run over sandy waves" doesn't make sense in the context. "Deserts" are not something you "run over," but "dunes" are suitable for running over.

5. swim five kilometres out in the sea / the ocean / a mountain Explanation: "Swim five kilometers out in the sea" is correct. "The ocean" and "a mountain" are not relevant to swimming in this context.

6. kayak around falls / a desert / a lake Explanation: "Kayak around falls" is appropriate for this context. "A desert" is not a water feature, but "a lake" is suitable for kayaking around.

So, the corrected passage is:

"The ULTRA race challenge! Are you fit enough to compete in this adventure challenge? The five-day event will attract some of the world's best athletes! Racing on land and in water, competitors will...

1. swim across lakes / rivers
2. cycle through an enormous volcano / rainforest
3. climb cliffs / a rock
4. run over dunes
5. swim five kilometers out in the sea
6. kayak around falls / a lake"
