Symonds Yat Super Looper 2027
A six hour trail loop challenge at Symonds Yat Rock in the Forest of Dean. Runners repeat a fully marked 5.25 km loop that includes about 160 m of climbing, technical ground and more than 100 steps up to the trig point. Each loop runs down to the River Wye, along a flat riverside section, then up a steep climb of roughly 120 m in 0.7 km before returning to HQ.
The event uses professional electronic timing and requires runners to sign in at the aid station at the end of each lap. The trig point must be touched on every lap. An aid station at HQ provides food, water, snacks, electrolytes and energy bars on every loop, and the course passes the café and toilets at the Symonds Yat Rock car park. Medical and physio cover are available on site and free race photos are provided.
Finisher thresholds are based on completed loops, only loops finished within the six hour limit count:
- 6 loops, Finisher medal, 31.5 km, 960 m climb
- 9 loops, Ultra medal, 47.25 km, 1,440 m climb
- 12 loops, Heroes medal, 63 km, 1,920 m climb
Entry is priced at £66, the field is limited to 100 runners and minimum age is 18. A percentage of entry fees is shared with Forestry England and parking at HQ is charged separately. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
