Event information
The race organisers create each leg to take in the most beautiful and
challenging aspects of the Dark Peak area of the Peak District.
The course takes runners over upland trails, along scenic ridgelines, through
wooded forests, past waterfalls, reservoirs, rivers, Kinder Scout (the highest
point in the Peak District) and up past Mam Tor.
The course is by no means the most technical in the Ultra X series
but there are a few sections of technical terrain.
The route may change slightly each year depending on the weather and
other varying factors. GPX files will be provided to runners before the race.
COURSE MARKINGS
The course route will be marked at approximately 40m intervals using coloured
flags, ribbons, laminated arrows and reflective tape, depending on terrain.
Areas where competitors are likely to be running in darkness will be marked with
reflective tape and are likely to have course marshals stationed more frequently.
GPX files of the route will be provided to competitors ahead of the event. All
competitors must have the route downloaded onto a device (watch or phone) from
which they can navigate if need be.
There are checkpoints approximately every 10km. If temperatures are unusually
high, checkpoints may be stationed more frequently.

Organiser's description
National Park in September each year. It offers four race distances:
110km (two-stage), 60km, 50km and 25km.
Ultra X England takes place in the Peak District, the UK’s first
National Park. Located at the southern edge of the Pennines, the Peak
District National Park is an upland area characterised by vast green
landscapes, rounded hills, plateaus, valleys, limestone gorges and
gritstone escarpments.
Inhabited from the Mesolithic era, the Peak District has a rich history
of agriculture, mining and quarrying, and is now famous for its vast
natural landscapes, spa towns, caves and network of footpaths and
cycling trails. With a huge variety of remote terrain, challenging climbs,
and stunning upland scenery on offer, the Peak District is one of the
best trail running locations in the country.
Ultra X welcomes both runners and walkers. All participants will
likely be doing a combination of the two in order to get to the finish
line, which is the most important thing.

Ultra X
Taking on a multi-day ultra in a far flung corner of the earth is one of the greatest experiences in the world. The sense of achievement you feel after grinding through each day, and the camaraderie you build with your fellow competitors in a remote desert, jungle or mountain camp is what makes competing in the global Ultra X series truly unique. Our goal is to enable more people to have these experiences every year, to champion the sport of multi-stage racing, and to make the world of ultra more accessible to all. We are now the biggest series of multi-stage ultramarathons on the planet and we are just getting started. Every day from our HQ, we strive to do three things; ~ Launch more races ~ Increase the accessibility and diversity of multi-stage ultra running ~ Build a global community of people that love adventure and love racing We aim to do all these things while doing as much good for the planet as possible. That’s why, in May 2020, we took the decision to become a carbon neutral company. We thank you for your interest and look forward to welcoming you to an Ultra X race soon.
