We advise all participants to travel by rail where possible as Edale Railway Station is only a 5 min walk from Race HQ and the start line. We understand that this may be too tight for people travelling on the day though.
Participants travelling by vehicle can arrive at Race HQ anytime from 07:30 onwards. Parking is available to purchase online at registration. There is limited capacity though and so only those who have pre purchased will be allowed in. There are limited parking options in Edale so we highly advise getting the train to the event to avoid causing disruption to the local community and to help support our sustainability policy.
The race starts from Race HQ at 09:00. Competitors may deposit a drop bag, which will stored securely at Race HQ.
Afternoon
At the finish line, there will be food and drinks available to purchase and prize giving will take place. All campsite facilities will be available (including showers).

Organiser's description
Inhabited from the Mesolithic era, the Peak District has a rich history of agriculture, mining, and quarrying, and is now famous for its spectacular scenery, 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 50 England takes place on the second day (Sunday) of Ultra X 125 England.

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.
