Overview

It's a non-stop 147 mile ultra-marathon that starts in the shadow of the Humber Bridge. The route winds its way through beautiful historic countryside across the Lincolnshire wolds and down towards the finish at Oakham near the banks of Rutland Water. It is named the Viking Way because of the strong influence of Viking settlements and Viking trade routes in the east of England. This challenge is a very runable well marked route, but it's not flat, with a 2,295m ascent. This is a non-stop race with the distance to be completed within 40 hours - there will be cut off times at 50 and 100 miles. Runners will be supplied with 'basics' at checkpoints approximately every 15-20 miles. This race is designed to suit experienced ultra runners with self sufficiency and non-stop experience. There will be cut-off times at 50 and 100 miles.
