Bath 50 Ultra Challenge
The Bath 50 Ultra Challenge is scheduled for Saturday, 28 March 2026. The event uses Bath Racecourse as its basecamp. Participants can take on looped routes that go around and through the historic city of Bath, with views of landmarks like the Royal Crescent and the River Avon.
Distances
The event offers three route distances on the same day:
- 50 km with approximately 1,000 meters of elevation.
- 29 km with approximately 650 meters of elevation.
- 10 km with approximately 200 meters of elevation.
Participation and Support
The challenge can be done by walking, jogging, or running, either as an individual or as part of a team. New for 2026 is the Ultra Trailblazerz option for faster, competitive runners. The Ultra March option is for walkers aiming to complete the 50 km distance in under 12 hours. A solo start time is also available.
The event provides support including rest stops approximately every 12.5 km with snacks and drinks, with a picnic lunch at the 25 km point for the 50 km route. Medical, podiatry, and massage teams are present. The route is marked and participants can be tracked via GPS. A finish-line celebration includes a medal, a finisher's t-shirt, and a glass of fizz. Participants can join for themselves or choose to fundraise for a charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
