The average temperature in the area ranges from a high of 23°C to a low of 12°C in July and there is a 20% chance of rainfall. Some would describe it as mildly cool with a gentle breeze. Others would say perfect running relay conditions. Sunrise is at 05:10 and sunset is at 21:04.

Organiser's description
Ultra X Goes Loopy is a timed event where runners will cover the most loops possible in 12 hours (“long course”) or 6 hours (“short course”) as individuals or teams.
The concept is simple: Either as a soloist or in teams of 2 or 4, you will race to complete as many loops of our beautiful 4.3km trail as possible.
At the runner ‘exchange zone’ aka the event village, there will be tents, food and drink vendors, therapists (to ease your sore muscles), live leaderboards, music and one hell of an atmosphere.
Location: the beautiful Culden Faw Estate just outside Henley (less than one hour’s drive from Central London).
The event offers the perfect opportunity to test your limits or complete your first ultra with the ultimate support in place.
You can make this event as easy or as hard as you like.
Location
RG9 3AS Dairy Lane, Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom

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.
