Battle of the Brampton Valley Way

The Battle of the Brampton Valley Way is a challenging ultra marathon event held along the traffic-free Brampton Valley Way in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Runners choose to start from either Northampton or Market Harborough, with the race covering two 14-mile stretches in opposite directions, totaling approximately 28 miles (45 km). The route is flat, scenic, and includes dark tunnels, making it suitable for experienced runners seeking a long-distance challenge.

The event promotes friendly competition between the two regions, with timing splits and a mathematical model to determine the winning side. Participants receive medals, and the race supports local foodbanks. Entries open soon, with a 7-hour cut-off time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
