Westcountry Ultra Flat 50 miler

The Westcountry Ultra Flat 50 is a 50-mile point-to-point ultramarathon held in Somerset, England, ideal for first-time 50-mile runners or those seeking a fast race. The course features a pancake-flat first half along the Taunton to Bridgwater Canal Path and the River Parrett Trail, with opportunities to spot local wildlife. The second half is more undulating but with only a quarter of the elevation of the Hilly 50, passing through scenic areas including Steart Marshes, the West Somerset Coast Path, and villages like West Quantoxhead and Watchet.

The race finishes at West Somerset College in Minehead, with six aid stations and a 14-hour cutoff. It is a cupless race with professional medical support and allows support crews. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
