The Wall Ultramarathon : event summary
The Wall is a one-way, mass participation ultramarathon held on 12 June 2027. The course covers 70 miles (112 km) and the event is listed with a planned duration of 26 hours. It is organised as a run/trek and is designed so it can be completed at about 3 mph, allowing both running and walking.
The route is fully waymarked with orange arrows and supported with event logistics including bag drops and transfers. A mid-event bag meets participants at Hexham (44 miles) and a larger bag is moved to the finish. Two bag limits are specified: the Hexham bag must be under 5 kg and 20 L, and the finish bag may be up to 70 L and 15 kg.
There are five staffed Pit Stops offering water, juice, sweet and salty snacks, fruit, toilets and an on-site medical team. Pit Stops include options for vegetarians and vegans and a separate box of gluten free/dairy free snacks, although cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed. Participants are expected to carry their own sports nutrition.
Medical cover is provided by a professional team of paramedics and doctors with event vehicles and a private ambulance; safety and risk management are independently audited. The route may be altered for safety or operational reasons; waymarks take precedence over any GPX file. Registration occurs the day before in Carlisle city centre. Participants must be over 18 on the day of registration. There is a transfer and Refund Protect policy and a charitable refund offer for qualifying fundraising.
