Overview

Not only will we have a beautiful, scenic trail marathon on offer, but we have also decided to include an additional 24 mile loop, for those Ultra lovers, looking to complete a 50 mile route. The marathon will take you along the stunning Shropshire hills, following sections of the Shropshire Way, through to the Nipstone and Stiperstones National Nature Reserves, up onto The Long Mynd, where there is nothing but endless views of the surrounding areas. Our 50 mile route will be formed of two separate loops consisting of the first 26.2 miles of the marathon, followed by a circular 24 miles through the stunning Clun Valley, which will also see you follow various sections of the Shropshire Way and the historical Offas Dyke Path. Our event will be well marked and marshalled, with various aid stations and friendly faces along the way to cheer you on, and as per all of our events, there will be no cut off time, and no pressure. So, if you enter and are prepared to keep pushing forward to the end, we will be there with a smile and your finishers medal.
