ULTRA LONDON

Sat 31st July 2021

Participants in running gear start a race at the Ultra London event, passing under a large race banner marked with the number 55. The background features a modern building with glass windows. The runners are focused and appear varied in age and attire. A group of runners gathers around a man giving a pre-race briefing at the starting line of the Ultra London race. The runners are wearing colorful athletic gear and race bibs. Large banners with the race name "Ultra London" are visible in the background. Three people are walking on a path through a grassy area, each carrying trekking poles. They are smiling and wearing running bibs. The backdrop includes trees and a cloudy sky. An enthusiastic runner crosses the finish line, raising both thumbs up in celebration. He is wearing a blue running outfit with "Waterstown Warriors" printed on the front and a race bib numbered 5188. Tall buildings and trees line the background, under cloudy skies. A person holds a hexagonal black medal with the words "Ultra London" in blue. The medal has a textured pattern and is attached to a blue ribbon. The person is wearing a white shirt and a blue jacket. Three smiling women are framed by a large teal-colored sign with the text “ULTRA LONDON” around the top and social media handles on the side. They appear happy and posed for a photo, likely after participating in an event. The background features buildings and greenery. A group of runners, wearing sports gear and race numbers, start a race under a banner that says "Ultra London." Some runners wear hydration packs and headbands.

Mandatory Kit List

All participants must carry some basic provisions and equipment with them at all times, including

- A mobile phone with a fully charged battery on race day morning
- Debit/Credit/Oyster card to enable travel on public transport if required
- Small foil blanket
- Small first aid kit
- Water bottle/foldable cup for water
- Your own initial water supply and any specific fuel/food required.
- Participants will be advised of the full mandatory equipment list well in advance of the event date.
- We recommend participants add GPX file download and route notes on their phone

Whilst there will be event-specific directional signs and confidence markers throughout the course, due to the nature of the route, certain parts are somewhat complex to navigate and runners are advised to moderate their speed at these points to ensure the correct path is taken.

A sports GPS navigation device is recommended if you have one - GPX files will be released closer to the event date.

Challenge Walkers

If you’re a walker looking for a challenge ULTRA LONDON could be for you!

The events are not a walk-in-the-park (ahem) – but as long as you can complete the distance within the specified cut off times then why not join us?

The cut off times are not particularly difficult and the required pace is designed to be achievable by most walkers– the shorter distance option also requires a slightly slower pace than the longer distances.

Run-Walkers

Did you know that the vast majority of participants will mix up running and walking during their ultra? That’s right, very few participants will even attempt to run the entire distance.

Generally speaking you will find that walking the inclines and then running/jogging the flat and downhill sections is the way to go. But it's entirely up to you.

As with any challenge it’s important to ensure that you are well prepared. That means some training! A quick web search for run-walk training plans will offer up some plans that you might like to follow.

A good tip is to find your 'level' during training and then make sure you stick to that during the event. It's very tempting to get carried away at the start of an event and head out a little too fast!

If your level is, say, jogging 5 minutes and then walking 1 minute, then try to stick to that from the start.

Cut Off Times

Please be aware the event has cut off times to ensure all finish by 18:00.
