Grim Reaper Running Festival
The Grim Reaper Running Festival 2026 takes place at the scenic Grimsthorpe Castle Estate in South Lincolnshire. This multi-distance event offers solo races of 10, 40, 70, and 100 miles, plus a 100-mile team relay. The course features a fully marked 10-mile loop combining grass trails through ancient woodland, limestone tracks, quiet estate roads, and a disused Victorian railway line, with views around the estate lake and the castle.
The terrain is undulating but without major hills, suitable for ultra-running beginners and experienced runners alike. Aid stations are limited, so self-sufficiency is encouraged. Camping is available on-site, and the event fosters a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
