Battle of the Brampton Valley Way

The Battle of the Brampton Valley Way is a unique ultra running event held in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, featuring a 28-mile (45km) out-and-back course along the flat, traffic-free Brampton Valley Way. Runners choose to start from either Market Harborough or Northampton, representing their county in a friendly competition. The route offers a scenic rural setting with minimal elevation gain (280m) and includes two dark tunnels requiring head torches.

Support includes feed stations every 4.5 miles, first aid, and volunteers at road crossings. The race fosters community spirit with prizes, commemorative medals, and free race photos, making it an excellent challenge for those stepping up to ultra distances.
