The Severn Path Ultra
Organiser's Description
Stage 3 of the 5 stage 'Severn Challenge'. Meandering through Shrewsbury, this 60 mile course is flat and hugs the River until you cross a bridge at Atcham, where the path stays away from the Severn until briefly touching at Cressage, then again at Buildwas.
The route hugs the Severn through Apley Forge, Bridgnorth, Hampton, Upper Arley, Bewdley, Stourport, finally reaching its conclusion at the Top Barn Activity Centre, Holt Heath.
Please note that ALL our races are now cup-free which means we will not be supplying cups and you will need to bring your own. We will provide water and squash dispensers and cola bottles for you to pour into your own cup.
