Malvern Hills Ultra
The Malvern Hills Ultra is a challenging ultra running event held in Worcestershire, UK, starting and finishing at Abberley Village Hall. Scheduled for May 2, 2026, it offers multiple race distances: 23, 31, 38, and 47 miles, with the longest featuring over 2,900 meters of ascent along the Worcestershire Way. The course is an out-and-back route with well-marked trails, but runners are advised to use downloadable maps and GPX files for navigation.
The event includes five checkpoints providing food and water, strict cut-off times within a 13-hour limit, and "Time Lords" pacing groups for 11, 12, and 13-hour finishes. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and technical T-shirt, mug, or hat. Entry fees contribute to the upkeep of the Malvern Hills paths. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
