About the race
Bowland Ultra 2026 is a 42-mile unmarked ultramarathon based at Slaidburn Village Hall, in the Forest of Bowland near Clitheroe (BB7 3ES). The route climbs about 1,700 metres and blends fast vehicle tracks, flowing trails, road sections, and boggy terrain with techy singletrack and scenic Bowland scenery. The 2025 route refresh reduced road use while preserving the challenging mix.
The event supports local charities and Morecambe Bay Foodbank, with four on-course aid stations offering hot food and drinks, a finishers meal and momento, and GPS tracking for supporters. Facilities include a bag drop at the HQ and detailed route notes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
