Autumn 100
The Autumn 100 is a continuous 100 mile trail race based in the twin villages of Goring and Streatley on the River Thames. The course is made up of four separate 25 mile out and back spurs that use sections of the Ridgeway and Thames Path national trails, with each spur starting and finishing in Goring and Streatley. The published route order is Thames Path to Little Wittenham, Ridgeway to Swyncombe Farm, Ridgeway to Chain Hill, and Thames Path to Reading, returning to Goring for a 100 mile total.
The route covers mostly trail terrain with around 20% road and 80% trail, and total ascent of about 5000 ft (1500 m). The event provides 16 fully stocked aid stations placed along the course, race medical support, and course markings in addition to national trail waymarkers. Drop bags are available at miles 25, 50, 75 and 100 and must be under 30 litres. Pacers are permitted only from mile 75 for the final 25 mile leg. Crews are not permitted.
Entry is limited and requires a qualifying performance: completion of a 50 mile race within 15 hours between 1 January 2022 and race day. The event enforces a 28 hour overall cut off. Finishers receive Centurion 100 mile buckles, with special recognition for sub 24 hour finishes, and prizes are awarded to overall and age group top finishers.
Mandatory kit includes a charged mobile phone, a minimum 1 litre water capacity, survival blanket, waterproof jacket with sealed seams, whistle, two lights of at least 100 lumens, warm hat and gloves, a long sleeved spare top kept dry, and a cup or mug.
