2024 is the 16th Anniversary of this fabulous 43 mile race and is one not to be missed! Now established as the opener to the Ultra race calendar this is historically a sell out event for the last 7 years, which attracts a truly global field. 2024 sees the event fully tracked and interactive again. The route takes you through the stunning Buckinghamshire countryside which, even in the depths of winter is going to look good. We carry this countryside well inside the M25 where we pick up the Grand Union Canal tow path for the final run into London where we will finish at Little Venice. There are 5 check points all stocked with water, snacks and the famous Go Beyond Cake. Breakfast of bacon rolls, juice and tea/coffee can be purchased at the pub and there is free tea, coffee and snacks at the finish.
