Event
Fortitude Ultra - Pippingford is a timed ultra event at Pippingford Park, Uckfield, TN22 3HW. The next race is on 28/03/2026. The event format is described as "10 Hrs : 10 Laps : You-vs-You." Participants aim to complete ten laps of one of three loop lengths. Participants receive an event medal and a coloured finisher's shirt based on their ability to complete the ten laps.
- 3-mile loop
- 4-mile loop
- 5-mile loop
Participants may change down to a shorter loop at any time during the day, but they must complete all ten laps and return to the race village within each hour. If a lap is not completed and the runner does not return to the race village within the hour, they cannot progress to the next hour. The finishing grade is determined by the shortest loop completed, not by total mileage.
Venue and course
The event takes place on a private working estate that includes an MOD training range. The estate is described as secluded and surrounded by nature.
Each lap can include up to 700 ft (215 m) of elevation. The Red and Black courses are mostly on hard-packed trail. The Blue course includes more off-road trail and is noted as a route that can be completed by walking or running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
