Event summary

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at The MTC Thames Challenge, organized by Ultra Running Ltd! This exciting event will take place from Thursday, August 5th to Sunday, August 8th, 2027, in the picturesque town of Cirencester, Gloucestershire. As part of the renowned URL Challenger Series, this four-day running extravaganza invites participants to tackle England's longest river path, culminating in a breathtaking journey down the historic Thames.

Participants will embark on a series of thrilling ultra-marathons, starting with the MTC Cotswold Ultra, a stunning 57-mile trek from the Source of the Thames to Travelodge Oxford. Day two will take runners through the MTC Oxford Ultra, covering 49 miles from Oxford to Wetherspoons in Henley-on-Thames. The challenge continues with the MTC Windsor Ultra, a 47-mile run from Henley-on-Thames to Travelodge Kingston, before concluding with the MTC Richmond Ultra, a 33-mile finale at the iconic Thames Gate.

For those seeking an extra challenge, consider the “DOUBLE” option by completing both the MTC Thames Challenge and the MTC Severn Challenge in the same year for a special “Severn & Thames Buckle.”
