Ultra Challenges
We’re partnering with Action Challenge to help raise funds for Sam’s Diamonds!
What Is It?
The Ultra Challenge Series is a collection of 16 events where you can walk, jog or run your chosen distance in some of the UK’s most iconic locations whilst raising money for charity!
Every person taking part receives the best hospitality and support from the Ultra Challenge team, including free food and drinks along the way, route marshals, medic assistance, and even a massage if you need it!
Peak District
6th-7th July
Take part in the Peak District Ultra Challenge!! From the Bakewell basecamp, the 100km challenge heads past Chatsworth House, and through varied terrain on a figure of 8 route. This consists of a few testing climbs, and some stunning views!
If 100km is a little overbearing, there are also 50km, 25km and 10 mile options available to choose from, as well as optional camping packages at the basecamp!!
Your entry includes free food and drinks at regular rest stops, as well as support such as medics, marshals and massages. At the finishing line, you will receive a glass of fizz, a t-shirt, and a medal to celebrate your achievement!!
Head to the Peak District Ultra Challenge page to sign up and find out full details of prices!!
Lake District
8th-9th June
Take part in the Lake District Ultra Challenge by travelling the Kendal loop or our new Lake District Marathon distance!! Like the Peak Dsitrict Ultra Challenge, these trails are suitable for all experience levels - with smaller distance options!
From the base camp in Kendal, you will then travel in an anticlockwise loop taking in a couple of tough hills to Ambleside, a halfway point by Lake Windermere, forests, and nature reserves!! Take in some stunning views en route, followed by a huge welcome and celebration back at Base Camp at the finishing line!
Just like the Peak District Ultra Challenge, entry includes free food and drinks at regular rest stops, as well as support such as medics, marshals and massages. At the finishing line, you will receive a glass of fizz, a t-shirt, and a medal to celebrate your achievement!!
