Epping Forest Ultra

Discover the wild, ancient heart of London at the Epping Forest 50KM on Saturday, October 3, 2026, a unique eco-trail ultra that journeys from the urban fringes of Wanstead Flats deep into the enchanting woodlands of Epping Forest. This classic out-and-back course, now in its 6th edition, offers a surprisingly hilly and technical challenge within the capital, swapping tarmac for muddy tracks and city noise for tranquil forest paths. Organized by Camino Ultra, the event is celebrated as a perfect first ultra or a fantastic off-road test for road runners, featuring three well-stocked aid stations, clear course marking, and a supportive atmosphere that champions personal achievement. By participating, you directly contribute to forest restoration projects, aligning your run with a powerful sustainability ethos. The crisp October air and potential for classic autumnal mud add an extra layer of adventure to this 50km exploration, making it a truly memorable way to experience London's largest green space. Secure your spot for a day where the only skyscrapers are the trees, and every kilometer brings you closer to both a personal milestone and a positive environmental impact.
