Pen-Y-Ghent Ultra – Ranger Ultras

The Pen-Y-Ghent Ultra is a 50 km trail race. It is held in Hawes, in the Yorkshire Dales. The route is an out-and-back course that goes over Pen-Y-Ghent mountain. It features a total ascent of 1280 metres.

The event is described as a low-key, big-enjoyment trail race in the organizer's style. It is noted as an autumn season race and mentioned as a choice for a first mountain ultra. The route is not waymarked beyond existing finger posts, but a GPX file is sent to entrants before the event.

Participants receive navigation and course notes. On-course refreshments and checkpoints are provided. There is an indoor resting space at the race headquarters after the event, with hot food and refreshments available. Finishers receive eco medals, and there are bespoke eco-trophies for the fastest male and female runners.

The event is held under a Trail Running Association permit, and participants must be 20 years or older on race day. The event also includes a donation to National Trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
