About the race
The Wall is a mass participation ultramarathon held on 12 June 2027. The route covers 70 miles (112 km) and is listed as a Run/Trek event with a planned duration of 26 hours. The course is fully waymarked with bright orange arrows and backed up by paid staff at key locations, so participants do not need to follow a gpx file on the day.
The event is fully supported. Organisers move two participant bags: a Hexham bag available at 44 miles (max 20 L, 5 kg) and a finish bag transported to the finish (max 70 L, 15 kg). A sweeper service can transport participants who withdraw to the finish. There are five staffed Pit Stops supplying water, juice, sweet and salty snacks, fruit, toilets and on-site medical cover. Pit Stops do not supply sports nutrition products; participants are asked to bring their own gels and supplements. Pit Stops include vegetarian and vegan options and a separate box of gluten free/dairy free snacks, though cross contamination cannot be guaranteed.
Medical cover is provided by a professional event medical provider with paramedics, doctors, vehicles and a private ambulance, and the event is independently audited for safety. The Wall is designed to be completed at around 3 mph, allowing it to be walked as well as run. Registration and tracker collection take place in Carlisle city centre on the Friday before the event. Participants must be over 18 on the day of registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
