Oak and Coal Ultra 2027
The Oak and Coal Ultra is the second annual, mixed terrain 50k event organised by Quadrio Events. The route starts and finishes at Ticking Clock Brewery, a microbrewery in Shireoaks, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, and runs through Sherwood and the surrounding area on footpaths and minor roads.
The course includes sections through Clumber Park, local woodlands, and former colliery villages, using parts of the Robin Hood Way and the Cuckoo Way. Total ascent is around 1,700 feet. The route is not signposted; a tested GPX file and written instructions are provided for navigation.
Four well stocked aid stations are placed at roughly seven mile intervals, reducing the need to carry large amounts of kit. A drop bag service is available at CP2 and a separate drop sandwich bag can be left for the half way point. Marshalls will staff aid stations and key road crossings. A ten hour cut off applies to the event.
Entries are open from 24 September 2026 and close on 14 July 2027. Minimum age is 18. Entry pricing is listed in GBP with solo and pairs options; a pairs entry does not require partners to run together. Finishers receive a bespoke pint glass with a 2027 colourway. Event support at the start and finish includes a resident DJ and local food vendors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
