The Pen-Y-Ghent 50 km Ultra is an autumn mountain trail race based in Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales. The course is a straightforward out over Pen-Y-Ghent and back route with a total ascent of 1280 metres.

The event is held under a Trail Running Association permit and follows England Athletics competition rules. Participants must be at least 20 years old on race day.

Finishers receive eco medals and winners receive bespoke eco-trophies. The event package includes the TRA permit fee and a donation to National Trails.
The village of Hawes provides local B&B accommodation, pubs and shops for visiting participants. Organisers supply a race brief and terms and conditions to entrants. The Pen-Y-Ghent Ultra has been held for nine years and is presented as an option for runners seeking a mountain ultra with supplied navigation materials.
