ultra x 125 eng­land

Ultra X 125 Eng­land takes place in the Peak Dis­trict Nation­al Park, an upland area char­ac­ter­ised by vast green land­scapes, roun­ded hills, plat­eaus, val­leys, lime­stone gorges, and grit­stone escarp­ments.

Inhab­ited from the Meso­lith­ic era, the Peak Dis­trict has a rich his­tory of agri­cul­ture, min­ing, and quar­ry­ing, and is now fam­ous for its spec­tac­u­lar scenery, spa towns, caves, and net­work of foot­paths and cyc­ling trails. With a huge vari­ety of remote ter­rain, chal­len­ging climbs, and stun­ning upland scenery on offer, the Peak Dis­trict is one of the best trail run­ning loc­a­tions in the coun­try.

Ultra X 125 Eng­land is held under full UK Ath­let­ics Per­mit gran­ted through the TRA (Per­mit Num­ber: 3666). URN 7693465.
