Charm Bracelet 100
Dufton, United Kingdom • 2-4 Oct 2026
Event overview
Charm Bracelet Trail Events runs two long-distance trail ultras on national trails in northern England. The event offers two distances:
- 104 miles
- 50 miles
Both races are open to runners and walkers aged 20 or older. Relay teams for the longer distance can include 2 to 4 runners. Unsupported solo entrants must provide evidence of a previous 50-mile event or equivalent at the point of entry.
Route and logistics
The longer route starts in Dufton and follows the Pennine Way, then the Teesdale Way, and finishes via the King Charles III Coastal Path and the Cleveland Way for the final section. The 50-mile course follows the second half of the longer route, starting at Croft-on-Tees and finishing at Skinningrove. The 104-mile route includes over 6,000 ft of ascent; the 50-mile route has around 1,700 ft of ascent. Support runners may join competitors partway through the course after the second checkpoint, roughly 20 miles in.
Services and rules
The event provides GPS tracking, checkpoints with food and water, hot and cold meals at selected indoor checkpoints, bag-drop at several locations, and first aid cover. Cutoff limits are 40 hours for the 104-mile race and 20 hours for the 50-mile race. Entry fees include a finisher medal, t-shirt, food and drink, and a GPS tracker. Trophies are awarded across gender and veteran age categories. Environmental measures include an option to plant a tree instead of taking a T-shirt.
