We believe this is Swindon’s first Ultra marathon…

Starting and finishing in the beautiful Lydiard Park. The route takes in some great trails that surround Swindon. Through Barbury castle and the Ridgeway. The route also takes in most of the town’s local parks. With only a little section of urban along the way.

We want the event to be a beginner friendly ultra. With generous cut offs to help newbies get round in time.
