About the race
The Sikhs In The City Summer Samosa Ultra is a friendly multi-distance running event held in Woodford Green. The race takes place on a certified 2.014 km loop course consisting of undulating terrain on a primarily tarmac surface. The route is also designated as wheelchair friendly.
Participants can choose from several distance options based on the number of laps completed:
- 10 km
- 22 km (11 laps)
- Marathon (21 laps)
- Ultra (at least 25 laps)
- Team Relay Ultra (25 laps total for teams of up to five)
For the individual Ultra category, runners are ranked by the total number of laps completed. The course remains open for several hours, allowing participants to finish any lap started before the designated cut-off. The event is chip-timed, and a large electronic board at the start and finish area displays live progress.
The event village is located at Teresa Gavin House and includes a bag drop, toilets, and a feeding station. The station provides standard refreshments such as water, fruit, and sweets, alongside tea, coffee, samosas, and onion bhajis. A dedicated table is available for personal drinks. All finishers receive a bespoke medal and an event T-shirt. Awards are presented to the first three male and female finishers in each individual category and the top three relay teams.
The course is certified for distance, and results for the Marathon and Ultra distances are eligible for the 100 Marathon Club. Free parking is available along the route, with a recommendation to park approximately 100 meters away from the start/finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
