The magical distance of 26.2 miles on the region's most popular hill - and we want to provide a marathon event that is achievable for all hill walkers. and explores every corner of this beautiful area. It also serves as a great opportunity to train and get some quality hill miles in your legs if you are preparing for your first Ultra distance event.
We also make it fully guided...so there are no worries about getting lost or going the wrong way - all you have to do is focus on putting one foot in front of the other, and enjoying those fabulous views!
The route passes through the event HQ area at about halfway (21km), so you can access the toilet facilities, the event feed station and your spare provisions from the bag drop area. We will also set up a water station at 10km and 31km, so you'll get access to water every 10km. The 42.2km route has nearly 2000m of ascent, so it is definately hilly!
