Overview
Robin Hood 100 is a 100-mile trail ultra organised by HOBO Pace. The event is held from South Wheatley Village Hall, Sturton Road, Retford, Notts DN22 9DH. The race is held every other year, with the next scheduled edition in September 2026. Entry is limited to 150 runners and the published entry fee is 164. The overall cut-off to finish is 30 hours; cut-offs during the race are calculated at an 18-minute mile average and may be enforced to protect volunteer resources.
Course and race logistics
The fully marked route uses the Chesterfield Canal towpath out to Worksop, then enters Sherwood Forest and includes a roughly 30-mile forest loop that is run twice. The course follows forest trails, minor roads and footpaths, passing Creswell Crags, the Welbeck Estate, Clumber Park and the Thoresby Estate. The route is returned on the same canal towpath to the village hall.
Aid stations are regular, supported and described as well stocked. Drop bags are allowed and will be located at Aid Station 4 at approximately 51.8 miles and 81.4 miles; the first access to these drop bags is at 51.8 miles. Pacers are permitted from around the 50-mile point to the finish, one pacer at a time. Trackers are not used; runners are checked by aid station recording. All HOBO Pace events are fully vegan.
