Beyond Nottingham 2027
Beyond Nottingham, organised by Wild Deer Events, offers two urban trail running options that start and finish in the centre of Nottingham. The event takes runners off busy streets and onto local trails, parks and riverside paths.
The 55 km Ultra begins in the heart of Nottingham and travels east towards Colwick, Burton Joyce and the rural trails around the Trent Valley, before returning through Holme Pierrepont and West Bridgford. The second half returns into the city then heads west towards Wollaton Park and the University of Nottingham, combining quiet trails, parks, riverside paths and urban sections.
The 25 km run starts in Nottingham, heads east towards Colwick and the River Trent countryside, crosses the city and then goes west through Wollaton and Wollaton Park before looping back towards the centre.
Distances
- 55 km Ultra route through city and surrounding countryside
- 25 km Trail run using parks, riverside paths and green spaces
