Ultra X England 2023

Ultra X 50 England takes place in the Peak District, the UK’s first National Park. Located at the southern edge of the Pennines, the Peak District National Park is an upland area characterised by vast green landscapes, rounded hills, plateaus, valleys, limestone gorges and gritstone escarpments. The course is a looped route that circumnavigates the Kinder Scout National Nature Reserve before scaling the famous Great Ridge and summiting Mam Tor. It covers a total distance of 50km (31 miles). The race starts from Race HQ at 09:00. Participants must transfer themselves to Race HQ and will be permitted entry from 07:30 onwards if not camping onsite. There are checkpoints stationed approximately 10km apart where competitors can access water, food, shelter, and, if necessary, medical support. Competitors will have the option to purchase camping at Race HQ. There is limited availability though as priority is given to the 110km runners. However, after the race all competitors will have access to medical care, hot water and shower facilities in the campsite. The event is held under full UK Athletics rules.
