About the race
The Severn Challenge, also known as The MTC Severn Challenge, is Ultra Running Ltd's flagship five-day multiday ultra along the River Severn. It covers about 220 miles from the Hafren source to the Severn’s mouth, split into five stages: Hafren (26 miles), Severn Plod Ultra (47), Severn Path Ultra (59), Severn Way Ultra (57) and Bristol Severn (30). The course mostly runs on the Severn Way Footpath with occasional overgrown sections; GPX navigation is advised.
Each day awards a bespoke finisher medal; complete all five for a large trophy. Accommodation is provided in hotels along the route, and the event maintains a notably tough finisher rate around 26%. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
