What is the Ultra Challenge Series?

With a range of unique events and route options from 10km to 100km, there's an Ultra Challenge for everyone. Some events are walking only, while others give you the freedom to walk, jog or run – so you can take on your challenge at your own pace.

From stunning coastlines to beautiful countryside trails, every Ultra Challenge offers an unforgettable experience. Along the way, you'll enjoy fantastic support, a real sense of camaraderie, and the incredible feeling of crossing the finish line, all while raising vital funds to support those affected by eating disorders.
