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: 3666).

ultra x 50 eng­land

Those that don’t fancy the full 125km multi-stage race can enter the 50km on Sunday as a single-stage race. Ultra X 50 Eng­land run­ners must trans­fer them­selves to Race HQ on Sunday morn­ing, where the 50km race will begin two hours after the 125km race.

Please note that much of the inform­a­tion on this page refers to Ultra X 125 Eng­land. For full details regard­ing Ultra X 50 Eng­land, please see the Race Inform­a­tion Pack below.

That said, a lot of the inform­a­tion is rel­ev­ant to 50km run­ners too. For example, the elev­a­tion chart for the 50km is shown below as ‘Stage 2’.

The cost of the 50km race is £60, although the price is less for those enter­ing as a team (3 or more) and for mil­it­ary per­son­nel. Full pri­cing details can be found at check­out by hit­ting the blue ‘Enter Race’ but­ton at the top of this page.
