The 50 Mile Grand Slam 2026 consists of a series of four distinct ultra-endurance running events organized by Centurion Running. Participants must be at least 20 years old to enter this series. The schedule spans from April through November, requiring runners to complete multiple point-to-point or circular courses throughout the year.

The series includes the following 50 mile events:

  • South Downs Way 50 (SDW50)
  • North Downs Way 50 (NDW50)
  • Chiltern Wonderland 50 (CW50)

The first event in the series takes place in April, followed by a second race in May.
