“As someone who has done ultras all over the UK, Ultra X events are my favourite. The support you receive around the courses and at the aid stations is second to none. If you are new to ultras or an experienced runner you’ll have the best time with some amazing people. Ultra X England really shows the beauty of the Peak District and is a great challenge and the views when you get to the top. Just wow. If you get a chance to do Ultra X England. Do it. It will become your favourite race.”

Zac Dann UK

“Ultra X 125 England was simply one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. The emotional roller coaster was real – excitement, pride, confidence, frustration, anger, tears, joy, hunger, nausea, laughter, fear, hope, despair – it all came in waves.”

Anna Davison UK

“Ultra X England is an amazing weekend, from every perspective. Beautiful trails, inspiring competitors and top notch organisations from the fantastic Ultra X team. So good I’ve run it twice!”

Robin Reynolds UK

“The Peak District is probably my favourite place to run in the entire world and to get the opportunity to cover 125km in 2 days with an awesome crowd of Ultra X runners and crew was just what we needed, especially in a year that has seen so many races cancelled! Ultra X did an outstanding job of creating a challenging course that took in some of the finest views in England whilst ensuring we all felt really safe from a Covid-19 perspective both on the course and around the campsite. A massive well done to the Ultra X team – I would 100% recommend this to anyone whether you’re a seasoned ultra runner or newbie, the adventure of exploring the beautiful Peak District is well worth it!”
