BEYOND LONDON ULTRA TRAIL RUNS - 55KM & 25KM EARLY BIRD PRICES

Dive into an unforgettable exploration of London's hidden gems at Beyond London by WILD DEER EVENTS, where runners are invited to venture beyond the usual tourist paths. This trail running festival offers two engaging options: a 55km ultra marathon and a shorter but equally scenic 25km trail run.
The 55km route takes you through Greater London’s inner circle along the Capital Ring footpath. Expect to encounter iconic landmarks like Eltham Palace, Richmond Park's ancient woodlands, and rolling hills while also discovering lesser-known trails that offer unexpected beauty. The course is fully signed with well-placed support stations ensuring a safe journey.
For those who prefer a shorter adventure, the 25km trail run follows part of London’s Capital Ring footpath as well, showcasing Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park among other beloved spots. Both routes provide unique vantage points to view the city's skyline from angles rarely seen by visitors or even locals.
Participants will enjoy several perks including chip timing for accurate results, feed stations with essential supplies like water, snacks, toilets, and first aid, as well as a medical support team on standby throughout the race day. Upon crossing the finish line at Old Deer Park in Richmond, runners are greeted with refreshing post-race beverages and a bespoke medal to commemorate their achievement.
Registration for both events opens early: 6am for the ultra marathon and 9am for the shorter trail run, followed by staggered starts from 7-7:30 am and 10-10:30 am respectively. The event's start lines are conveniently located in Woolwich and Upper Norwood with ample public transport options available.
Join Beyond London to experience a side of London that few have seen before – one filled with natural beauty, historical landmarks, and an atmosphere uniquely tailored for runners who appreciate the finer details of urban exploration.
The 55km ultra marathon begins at Dial Arch Square in Woolwich (SE18 6GH), while the shorter route starts from Upper Norwood Recreation Ground near Chevening Road (SE19 3TE). Both events conclude at Old Deer Park, located on Old Palace Lane in Richmond (TW9 1PQ).
A bag drop service is available at both start locations and can be collected post-race. Feed stations are strategically placed along the routes to ensure runners stay fueled and hydrated.
Beyond London promises an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes all paces, from joggers to walkers, offering a day of discovery for trail enthusiasts who wish to uncover new perspectives on this historic city.
