Event details
The MTC Beowulf is a single-day ultra running event scheduled for 18 July 2027. It forms Day 6 of the MTC ALBION thirteen-day end-to-end of England series. The course edition is the first running of this event. The advertised distance is approximately 35.4 miles (also presented elsewhere as 36 miles). Total ascent is listed as 2,440 ft and total descent as 2,252 ft. Entry options include a standard race fee of £90 and a plus package at £155 that includes a race shirt and hi-viz jacket. Entry fees are non-refundable; a personal cancellation insurance option can be added at booking.
Route, cut-offs and requirements
The route follows the same line used by the organiser’s MTC JOGLE event with reduced daily distances, running from Travelodge Shrewsbury Battlefield to The Talbot Hotel in Kidderminster. Checkpoints are positioned along the route (examples: CP1 ~8.8 miles, CP2 ~17.9 miles, CP3 ~25.4 miles). Organisers set preset cut-offs based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph; competitors who fall below this standard may be withdrawn. Competitor numbers are limited to 20, with an additional allowance of 20 for ALBION entrants (maximum 40). Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, organiser-provided maps, compass or GPS, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food. Finishers receive a medal; male and female champions also receive trophies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
