Beyond Nottingham 2027
Beyond Nottingham is an urban trail running event organised by Wild Deer Events that offers two route options:
- 55 km Ultra taking runners through city and surrounding countryside
- 25 km Trail Run combining riverside paths and city green spaces
Both distances start and finish in the centre of Nottingham. The 55 km route leaves the city to the east, passing Colwick, Burton Joyce and rural trails around the Trent Valley, then returns via Holme Pierrepont and West Bridgford before heading west toward Wollaton Park and the University of Nottingham. The 25 km route also heads east toward Colwick and the River Trent, crosses the city and continues west through Wollaton and Wollaton Park before looping back to the centre. Routes include quiet trails, parks, riverside paths and some urban sections.
Event services include a bespoke finisher medal, Wild Deer merchandise, fully signed routes, chip timing, GPX route files, medical support and finish-line refreshments. Feed stations are provided: three on the 55 km route (at 12.7 km, 29 km and 42 km) and two on the 25 km route (at 7.5 km and 14.5 km), each with toilets and first aid. A bag drop is available at the start/finish. The official cut-off time is 6:00pm and sweeps will remove route signage after this.
Compulsory kit expectations include a running backpack, water or fluids, a charged mobile phone with emergency contacts, some food or gels and a lightweight jacket. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
