MTC Blue Caps : 16 July 2027

The MTC Blue Caps is a single-day ultra event that forms Day 4 of the MTC ALBION 13-day end-to-end of England. The course follows the same route used in the organiser’s JOGLE event but with reduced daily distances. The advertised total distance for the day is approximately 35.5 miles. Entrant numbers are limited to 20, with an additional allowance of 20 places for ALBION competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. All entry payments are non-refundable.

Route, logistics and rules

The route runs from Premier Inn Wigan North (WN6 0SS) to The Swan at Tarporley (CW6 0AG) with intermediate checkpoints at Garswood (about 8 miles), Mill Lane, Warrington (about 15.4 miles cumulative) and Little Leigh (about 24.4 miles cumulative). The event is cup-free; competitors must provide their own reusable cup. Maps and GPX files are provided to entrants and are emailed around four weeks before the event. The organiser issues tracking devices with SOS capability for competitor monitoring.

The race has preset cut-offs based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph; competitors warned for low pace may be withdrawn if requirements are not met. Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, organiser-provided route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food.
