Pilgrims’ Ultra

About the Event

Trace an ancient path through the 'Land of the far horizons' at the St Oswald's Way Ultra on Saturday, September 26, 2026, a breathtaking point-to-point adventure that follows the historic pilgrimage route from Holy Island of Lindisfarne deep into the wild heart of Northumberland. Choose your epic challenge from 50km, 100km, or a monumental 100-mile distance, each offering a profound journey past iconic castles, across vast sandy beaches, and through rolling hills steeped in centuries of history. Starting on the hallowed ground where English Christianity began, your run becomes a modern-day pilgrimage, immersing you in the raw, untamed beauty and immense skies that define this ancient borderland. Organized by Cold Brew Events, this is more than a race—it's a fully-supported expedition demanding resilience and offering a profound connection to the landscape, complete with live GPS tracking and the camaraderie of fellow adventurers. Whether you're an experienced ultra runner seeking a truly iconic challenge or a trail explorer drawn to the route's deep heritage, the event delivers an unforgettable test of spirit against a backdrop of unparalleled scenery. Secure your entry for an end-of-summer Saturday where every mile tells a story, and your finish line—be it in Craster, Rothbury, or Heavenfield—marks a deeply personal conquest of one of England's most majestic and historic trails.
