EVENTS

16 UNIQUE CHALLENGES

From the Isle of Wight up to the Lake District, there are 16 fantastic Ultra Challenge® events to join as a ‘TRAILBLAZERZ®‘. Some are on stunning coastal paths, others in wonderful countryside with rolling hills, and a few follow historic trails. The season kicks off in March with the Bath 50 – subsequent events are in date order below – with distance options, ascent, and the maximum ‘Time goal’ allowable as a TRAILBLAZERZ®. Click on each for details – including maps, course records – which are there to be beaten – with trophies, prizes, ITRA points, and more!

REMEMBER – as event cut off times are ‘generous’ (as joggers & walkers also take part later on) – you’ll never get ‘gonged out’ of an Ultra Challenge as a runner! Also – prior to sign up, if you feel you probably can’t hit the Trailblazerz® ‘target time’, you can still sign up to an event in the ‘standard runner‘ category with a 7.0am start.
