Five Rivers Ultra

The Five Rivers Ultra is a scenic ultra-endurance running event held along the wild North Essex and South Suffolk coastline, finishing in Harwich, Suffolk. It offers three distance options: 100 miles, 50 miles, and 50 km, with generous cut-off times. The point-to-point course features a flat and fast route through unspoiled countryside, including the Dedham Vale and Suffolk Coast & Heaths Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Over 85% of the trail is on grass or dirt paths, often with estuary views. The race follows well-marked long-distance footpaths, with GPX navigation provided. Amenities include drop bags, indoor checkpoints with hot food, and finisher mementos. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
