Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge
The Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge takes place in the Cotswolds with Cirencester as basecamp on 12 and 13 June 2027. The event follows a looped route and sectioned options along the Cotswold Way, running on footpaths and trails through rolling hills, villages, and viewpoints. The full continuous route is roughly 100 km with about 2250 m of climb; there is also a two day daylight 100 km option with an overnight campsite at the halfway point.
Support services are provided along the routes. Covered rest stops appear about every 12.5 km, with larger stations every 25 km offering catering, seating, welfare tents, changing rooms, medical cover, podiatry and massage. The route is fully signed and the organiser provides GPS tracking via an event app and a timing system that scans progress at rest stops. Shuttle buses and parking are available at key venues.
There are entry categories for walkers, joggers and runners, including an Ultra March category for walkers aiming for time targets and a Trailblazerz category for competitive runners with time goals. Finishers receive a medal, a T shirt and a finishers meal. Cirencester basecamp offers camping and hostel options, transfers, and a solo start option. The event capacity is presented as 2,000 participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
