Bowland Ultra & Trail Half 9 January 2027

Bowland Ultra & Trail Half takes place near Lancaster, Lancashire on 9 January 2027. The event offers an ultra distance and a trail half that share the same start and end sections.

41 miles with 6,131 ft ascent
13 miles with 2,021 ft ascent

The ultra is an unmarked mixed route. Course surfaces include vehicle tracks, flowing trails, roads, icy sections, and boggy climbs. Some sections are more runnable while others require sustained climbing or careful footing.

The trail half follows the same opening and closing sections of the ultra and provides a shorter way to experience the course and winter racing conditions. Past editions are referenced for 2024, 2025 and 2026, and event feedback from 2024 commented positively on organisation. The event notes participants may raise funds for charity.
