24 Hours South - The Offa's Dyke ULTRA

The event takes place on 9 and 10 May 2026 in Prestatyn, North Wales.

Team entries must have between 2 and 4 members; changeovers may occur at any time and more than one team member can be on the trail at once, but each team member must cover some distance. GPS tracking and chip timing are used. Six staffed checkpoints supply food, drinks and access to competitors' drop bags. A medal and certificate are provided at the end. Registration and kit checks are located at the Nova Centre, Prestatyn.
