About the Event

Discover the wild beauty of the East Anglian coast at the Suffolk Coastal Path 50K, a point-to-point trail ultra from Lowestoft to Aldeburgh on Saturday, 12 September 2026. This UTMB World Series Index Race offers a stunning and remarkably fast 50-kilometer journey along England's eastern edge, with just 120 meters of elevation. Runners will traverse a wonderfully varied route of hard paths, quiet lanes, and scenic trails, passing iconic landmarks like the colourful beach huts of Southwold, the haunting shores of Dunwich, and the nature reserve of RSPB Minsmere. Meticulously organised by Runaway Racing, the event features four fully stocked aid stations, a generous 9-hour time limit, and optional coach transfers, making it an ideal first ultra or a fast goal for seasoned runners. With its flat, non-technical terrain and breathtaking coastal views all the way to the famous Moot Hall finish, it's a truly special race that consistently sells out—secure your entry early for an unforgettable running adventure.
