We were so impressed how well organised it was. From registration to

the finish line everything was amazing - the staff were so lovely and helpful - the

catering was outstanding and all the facilities clean and tidy. A huge thank

you to you all!!

For my first event I was amazed at how well organised it was. Particularly as

I was on my own. Very well signposted. Excellent medical assistance. Very friendly crew. Fab event!

Take on a 50km Ultra or 25km – and make it an active Easter! From our Windsor Racecourse basecamp – you can Walk, Jog, or Run looped routes through the Great Park with great views of the Castle, along the Thames Path, and enjoy some wonderful countryside.

From the Racecourse basecamp – the 25km loop heads along the Thames Path passing Alexandra & Home Park, with a pit stop for snacks & drinks near historic Runnymede, before heading to Windsor Great Park with magnificent views of the Castle.

The full 50km Ultra option initially takes in the same route as the 25 km’er, with lunch back at the Racecourse – followed by a further 25km loop heading west along the Thames Path, passing through Dorney & Eton Wick, and then following the Jubilee River back to basecamp.
