The Ultra Loop - Lyme Park
The Ultra Loop is an inclusive eight hour running event held at Lyme Park in Disley, Stockport SK12 2NR. Participants run as many laps as they can of a fixed mixed terrain circuit and receive a finishing time and medal when they stop.
The course is a 5.6 km loop across trails, grass and a small amount of road with an elevation gain of 118 m per lap. The route passes The Knott, Crow Wood and Elmshurst Wood, includes the climb up to The Cage, and returns past Lyme Hall. The course is not closed so walkers and dog walkers may be present.
Runners may enter solo or as part of a team of up to 4 people. Team entries run in relay style with only one team member allowed on course at a time. Individual and team results show laps completed, total distance and elapsed time; there is an eight hour time limit and any laps not finished within that limit are not included.
The event village and the singular aid station are located by the start and finish area. The aid station provides water, fruit, sweet and savoury snacks, energy bars and electrolytes from the event sponsor. Participants are asked to bring their own bottle. A bag drop is available and portaloos are provided. Entry fees are listed at £30 to £36. Runners aged 12 to 15 require a parent or guardian to organise and attend; under 12s are not permitted.
