Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge

100km of Cotswolds in a Weekend

Starting and finishing at Cirencester Basecamp, the Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge sends you out on a looped course through the heart of the region — rolling hills, Cotswold villages, ancient footpaths and stretches of the Cotswold Way itself. You choose the distance: 10km, 25km, 50km, 75km or the full 100km, which you can tackle in one continuous push or split across both days.

It's not a race unless you want it to be. The Ultra March® category sets a brisk target pace for walkers, the new Trailblazerz® option is for those treating it as a proper run, and everything in between is welcome. Rest stops come every 12.5km with food, snacks and medical support on hand — and camping packages are available if you're making a full weekend of it.

Organised by Ultra Challenge Ltd, part of the UK's biggest trekking series. Self-fund places run from £49 for the 10km up to £199 for the full 100km, with charity-sponsorship options at lower entry costs. Around 125 self-fund places remaining.
