Rip n Run XL
Rip n Run XL is an endurance running event organised by She Strides that starts from Wadsworth. The event offers two distance options and a mix of outdoor and indoor support points along the route.
- 40 miles with 5,800 ft of elevation
- 80 miles (the 40 mile route run twice) with 28 hours to complete
The 40 mile route is presented as a step up from a 50k distance. The 80 mile option repeats the 40 mile route and is presented as progression for those who have completed longer ultra distances.
There are four checkpoints on the route. The second and third checkpoints are indoors and provide toilets and shelter. The event headquarters acts as an additional checkpoint and offers soup there, with hot food available at headquarters and at the finish.
The route reaches higher ground near a local pike, so participants may pass that point around sunrise on the 40 mile route. Completing the 80 mile option can put runners on the route for both sunrise and sunset. Entry fees are listed from GBP 60 to GBP 110.
