Bowland Ultra

Bowland Ultra 2026 takes place from Slaidburn Village Hall in the Forest of Bowland, near Clitheroe (BB7 3ES). The 42-mile (68 km) course climbs about 1,700 m and is unmarked, weaving fast vehicle tracks, flowing trails, roads and boggy sections. A new and improved route for 2025 reduced road and gravel and added more singletrack while retaining welcoming village-hall checkpoints.

The event features four fully equipped aid stations with hot food, a finishers meal and momento, and GPS tracking so supporters can follow participants. It raises funds for Morecambe Bay Foodbank and local charities, with maps and route descriptions provided for navigation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
