ABOUT THE EVENT

Open 50k ultra distance road races. 

 The 50km  will incorporate both  the British and Scottish 100km road championship for 2024.  See race website for championship medals on offer

Despite attracting some of the countries leading ultra runners, the event also attracts runners of all standards just keen to challenge themselves over one of the classic ultra distances. 

 It is also an ideal event if you are aiming for a longer 100mile ultra later in the summer.

The 50km (31.1 miles) is to our knowledge, one of only a few accurate 50km road events in Great Britain in 2024.  It is an ideal test for anyone wanting to attempt their first ultra, and is also a perfect distance for an honest test if preparing for a longer ultra event in the summer.
