Robin Hood 100
The Robin Hood 100 is a 100 miles ultra trail event held in South Wheatley, Nottinghamshire, in Sherwood Forest on 9-10 September 2028. The route uses runnable, scenic trails and includes a long forest loop that runners complete twice.
The course leaves the village hall and follows the Chesterfield Canal towpath to Manton. A few miles after Manton the route joins a roughly 30 miles forest loop through the heart of Sherwood Forest, typically run once in daylight and once in darkness.
Key route features include passing through Clumber Park, peaceful farmland, several lodges, Creswell Crags, and along the edge of the Welbeck Estate. The line of the route also passes The Major Oak, a notable landmark in Sherwood Forest.
Distances:
- 100 miles full race distance
- 30 miles forest loop repeated twice
Race services and rules are stated clearly. The route is fully marked and supported by well stocked aid stations. Drop bags are available at miles 22, 51, and 81. Pacers are allowed from Aid Station 4 (about mile 51) and crews are welcome. There is a 30 hour cutoff to finish. Finishers receive a medal and the top three men and top three women receive trophies. Hot soup, tea and coffee are provided at the finish and vegan food is available.
Logistics note: there is no public transport on race morning; the nearest train stations are Retford or Gainsborough, about 10 to 15 minutes by car. Parking near the hall and a nearby farmyard is limited, and parking in the village is not permitted. Due to tracker problems in dense forest, runners are not issued GPS trackers; runner presence is recorded at aid stations and crews are advised to use phone tracking apps. Entry terms include a waiting list when full, a 70% refund until three weeks before the event, no deferrals or transfers after that period, and a minimum age of 20.
