About the event
The Route
The National Forest Way cuts across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire, linking the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas to the windswept heights of Beacon Hill Country Park. It’s a trail carved through old mining country and reborn woodlands – where ancient paths, rough farmland, and steep climbs push you harder with every mile.
Make History
This is the inaugural National Forest Way Ultra. The first time the full route has ever been raced. When you cross that finish line, you won’t just have run an ultra – you’ll have carved your name into the history of the trail itself.
The question isn’t whether the forest is ready for you. The question is..
Are you ready for it ?
