About the Bath 50 Ultra Challenge

Centred on this elegant historic city, take on a 50 km Ultra, a testing 29 km, or a sharp 10 km challenge at your pace!

From basecamp at Bath Racecourse, 2000 adventurers will head out on looped routes around & through Bath – with fantastic panoramic views, past the famous Royal Crescent, along the River Avon and taking in many of the city’s sights & sounds and the surrounding countryside.

You’ll get full support all the way, and a celebration finish back at basecamp.
