Event details
The CBTE Winter Wirral Ultra takes place on Saturday 14 November 2026 at Hooton Memorial Hall, Waterworks Lane, Hooton, Wirral, CH66 7NL (what3words: calm.decorator.bounded). The event is limited to 430 participants and has an age minimum of 20 years. Entries open 16 October 2025 and close 24 October 2026. Entry fees are listed as Affiliated £62.00 and Non-affiliated £64.00. Entries so far: 62 participants.
Course and services
The route is a circular, largely flat course of 36 miles with about 812 ft of elevation. The route starts and ends at Hooton Memorial Hall and follows the well sign-posted Wirral Circular Trail in an anticlockwise direction, taking in the Wirral Peninsula coast before following the Wirral Way for the final 12 miles. Organisers add additional signs, so the event is partially self-navigational. The route suits road and trail runners and the 12 hour cutoff allows walkers to take part. The organisers note there is a lot of hard terrain, which may not suit runners who use only soft trails.
There are five checkpoints offering water and snacks. The entrance fee includes a finishers medal, drinks and snacks, and a GPS tracker for live tracking. An optional finishers t-shirt is available for £10. Trophies are awarded for top overall and certain age categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
