About The Event
Have you got what it takes to conquer the oldest path in Britain? The Ridgeway has endured 5,000 years. You just have to last 50km or 100km.
Find out for yourself what draws 3,000 people from around the world each year to follow in the footsteps of Romans, Vikings, and mythical warriors in their quest to reach the ancient stone circle at Avebury.
Threshold Sports believe in opening-up Ultras for All and from sign up to the finish line, they will support you every step of the way along this incredible journey! With a completion rate of over 90% this is the perfect 1st ultra.
This is a challenge for all ages, experience, and fitness levels. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, patient plodder, or weekend walker – choose to camp over the weekend, take on 100km in one go, or 50km in one day. Grit and determination will get you to the finish and secure those memories to last a lifetime.
