Orion Harriers - Epic Epping Forest Ultra

London, United Kingdom • 27 Sep 2025

Epic Epping Forest Ultra 2025, run by Orion Harriers, was planned as a 50-mile forest ultra in Epping Forest, north-east London, starting from Jubilee Retreat in Chingford. The course comprised ten 5-mile laps on woodland trails with about 1,120 meters of elevation gain, marked with sawdust and flags and marshals at road crossings. The format offered solo and Enduro team options, with a cup-less policy requiring runners to carry their own drinking vessel, drop bags, and on-site aid stations. Spectators were welcome. The event was cancelled this year due to insufficient entries; refunds will be issued with a hoped return in 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
