Winter Wirral Ultra
The Winter Wirral Ultra is a 36 miles circular trail event on Saturday 14 November 2026 that starts and finishes at Hooton Memorial Hall on the Wirral Way. New for 2026 the route is run anticlockwise, follows much of the well signposted Wirral Circular, takes in coastal sections of the Wirral peninsula, and uses the Wirral Way for the final 12 miles.
The course is mixed terrain with a high proportion of hard surfaces and relatively low total ascent, roughly 800 ft overall. The route is partially self navigational but fully tracked, with five marshaled food and water stations. Checkpoints provide water, soft drinks, baked goods, fruit, sweets, pretzels and peanuts. First aid is available on the day and tail runners will support completion within the 12 hour cutoff.
Entry details include standard and affiliate fees, a finishers medal, drinks and snacks, and a GPS tracker for tracking progress. Finishers t-shirts can be added for an extra charge and there is an option to support tree planting through Trees Not Tees. Awards include trophies for first female, first male and first non binary plus age category prizes for V50, V60 and V70. Minimum entry age is 20. Transfers and deferrals are allowed within specified time limits but refunds are not offered. Race permit ARC/24/0668. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
