Ouse Valley Way Races
The Ouse Valley Way Races take place in the county of Huntingdonshire, offering participants a scenic point-to-point course along and near the river. This event features two primary distances held on a flat landscape consisting of a mixture of grass, gravel, and tarmac paths. Both events are formal trail races registered with the Trail Running Association and insured under England Athletics.
The marathon distance covers a 26.2 mile route that begins in Eynesbury and finishes in Earith. This specific course is noted for its minimal elevation gain of only 13 metres. Participants must be at least 18 years old to enter the marathon event.
The half-marathon distance begins in Godmanchester and follows the Ouse Valley Way to the shared finish line in Earith. This route features even less vertical gain, totaling just 9 metres of elevation over the distance. The minimum age requirement for the half-marathon is 17 years.
Available distances:
- Marathon (approximately 26.2 miles)
- Half-Marathon (approximately 13.1 miles)
Entry fees vary based on affiliation with England Athletics, with a small discount provided for affiliated runners.
