About the Event

Test your endurance at The Joust, a legendary timed ultra-running challenge set in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside from 4-6 September 2026. Based from the Top Barn Farm Campsite near Worcester, this event offers three distinct battles: a grueling 24-hour solo or team effort, a 12-hour quest to conquer 50 miles, or a concentrated 6-hour run to see how far you can push. The race unfolds on a scenic, approximately 5.6-mile looped course across private farmland, featuring a relatively flat and runnable terrain that’s perfect for chasing the coveted 100-mile Joust Buckle. Experience the unique camaraderie of a lapped ultra, complete with night running under headlamps, festive campsite energy, and a dedicated 'Knights' volunteer team. With options for every level of grit, from solo runners to teams of eight, and even a fun Kids Joust obstacle race, it's a full weekend festival of resilience. Secure your place for this iconic test where your only true opponent is the clock.
