Battle of the Brampton Valley Way

Battle of the Brampton Valley Way is Race Harborough’s ultra-distance challenge along the traffic-free Brampton Valley Way, spanning 28 miles (45km) in total with two 14-mile legs from opposite ends (Market Harborough/Leicestershire or Northampton/Northamptonshire). The mostly flat, hard-packed surface runs through rural Northamptonshire, with about 280m of elevation gain. The event features 100 places at each end, timing mats at both ends for halfway splits, and four feed stations, plus toilets at both ends and at the turnaround.

Runners must wear cupless kit, and tunnels of 294m and 422m require lights. A lighthearted Leicestershire vs Northamptonshire battle accompanies the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
