Stour Valley Path 100 and 50k
The Stour Valley Path events comprise a point to point ultra run that follows almost the entire Stour Valley Path through Constable Country in eastern England. The course uses well marked public footpaths and passes landscape associated with painters such as John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough. The SVP100 route runs along the majority of the 100 km footpath between Newmarket and Cattawade and is one of the longest point to point races in East Anglia.
The event offers two distances:
- 102 km almost the full Stour Valley Path route.
- 50 km a shorter section using parts of the same trail.
Route characteristics and race details include a predominantly trail surface (about 95% trail, 5% paved) and modest cumulative elevation: SVP100 +912 m gain and -957 m loss, SVP50 +730 m gain and -760 m loss. Time cutoffs apply: 15.5 hours for the 100 km and 9.5 hours for the 50 km. Finishers earn UTMB Index points in the corresponding categories. Prizes are awarded to male and female winners and a team prize is based on the combined time of the fastest three club members. Finishers receive a medal and a t-shirt.
