Event overview
From the Windsor Racecourse basecamp, 2000 adventurers will head out on looped routes through the Great Park with fantastic views of the Castle, on to Runnymede, along the Thames Path, and takes in some wonderful surrounding countryside.
You’ll get full support all the way, and a celebration finish back at basecamp. It’s a great way to kick off the Ultra Challenge® season and start to get in shape for summer.
The Ultra Challenge Experience
This challenge is part of the UK's number one series of trek and trails runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels.
Choose your challenge and do it at your pace. The level of support enables you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors, camaraderie, and the challenge. There are marquee rest stops, lots of food and drink, medical and massage teams, with a fully signed route to guide you.
A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, up for more of life’s real challenges – and, maybe, personal horizons redefined.
This event is part of Easter 50 Ultra Challenge.

We were so impressed how well organised it was. From registration to the finish line everything was amazing - the staff were so lovely and helpful - the catering was outstanding and all the facilities clean and tidy. A huge thank you to you all!!
For my first event I was amazed at how well organised it was. Particularly as I was on my own. Very well signposted. Excellent medical assistance. Very friendly crew. Fab event!
