About the Event

Buckinghamshire's Ultra Race, an eagerly anticipated season opener for trail runners around the globe, offers 43 miles of breathtaking countryside and urban exploration. This fully sold-out race begins with stunning views as it winds through picturesque Buckinghamshire landscapes before crossing the M25 via a secure bridge.
The route then leads you into Denham village, where charming scenery sets the stage for an invigorating run along the Grand Union Canal towpath. The final stretch takes runners on an unexpected journey from bustling London streets to a tranquil finish line at Stowe Centre near Little Venice canal basin, just steps away from Paddington station.
Participants will enjoy real-time tracking and interactive race features that allow friends and family to follow their progress from afar while ensuring they stay on course throughout the event. This prestigious run is also an ITRA-recognized qualifying race for Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc, earning runners 3 Endurance points upon completion.
The diverse field of international athletes adds excitement and camaraderie to every mile, making this more than just a race but a celebration of endurance running in one of the world's most iconic cities.
