Bowland Ultra

The Bowland Ultra is a challenging 42-mile (68 km) trail running event held in January, starting and finishing at Slaidburn Village Hall in Clitheroe, UK. The unmarked course features a diverse mix of terrain including fast vehicle tracks, flowing trails, roads, technical singletrack, and boggy climbs, with a total ascent of 5,577 feet (1,700 meters). Runners navigate using maps and GPS, with four well-equipped aid stations offering hot food and drinks.

The event supports local charities such as Morecambe Bay Foodbank. Participants should prepare for potentially harsh winter conditions, making it a true test of endurance and navigation skills in the scenic Forest of Bowland. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
