Severn Challenge

The Severn Challenge is a grueling 218-mile ultra marathon held over five days, featuring five distinct stages along the River Severn's scenic path. Participants tackle daily distances ranging from 26 to 59 miles, with a challenging overall finisher rate of approximately 26%. Each stage offers unique medals, and completing all five earns competitors a special trophy.

Starting in 2025, the event will provide comfortable accommodations instead of camping, enhancing the experience for runners. The challenge is designed for those seeking a tough endurance test, with support including checkpoint food and logistics for personal gear.
