Chiltern Ridge Winter 50K
The Chiltern Ridge Winter 50K is a trail running event held on 31 October 2026 with a single loop route that starts and finishes at Berkhamsted Cricket Club in Hertfordshire. The course covers 50K with roughly 800m of elevation gain and is fully waymarked.
The route runs from Berkhamsted Common into the National Trust Ashridge Estate, follows The Ridgeway National Trail to Aldbury and on to Wendover, then returns via the Chiltern Way with more single track and woodland before a downhill approach back into Berkhamsted.
There are three full checkpoints and one water only stop. Full checkpoints are at Aldbury Sports Ground (18.4km), Boswells Farm in Wendover (31.6km) and Wigginton Village Hall (42.2km). A water point is located at Beacon Road (9.3km). Checkpoints provide drinks, gels, snacks and basic food; toilets are available at the three full checkpoints and the event base.
Key event details include a 9 hour time limit, a maximum field of 350 runners, a minimum entry age of 20, and UTMB World Series Index status in the 50K category. The race is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UKA rules. Navigation is supported by orange markers and marshals, but runners must carry a digital GPX of the route and the mandatory kit list for the whole race.
