Testway Ultra

Linkenholt, United Kingdom • 4 Apr 2026

The Testway Ultra is a challenging ultra marathon held in Hampshire, England, featuring 40 and 50-mile distances along the scenic Testway footpath. The route stretches from the chalky downs near the Northern Hampshire/Berkshire border to the southern town of Totton in Southampton, showcasing picturesque villages and rolling hills. Starting at the Linkenholt Activity Center, runners experience stunning natural surroundings, including sightings of red kites and buzzards.

The course is fully marked with high-visibility signage, especially in the final section for night runners. Aid stations stocked with a variety of refreshments are placed every 10 miles, supported by friendly marshals and a professional medical team. The event offers shuttle bus transport from the finish back to the start and awards finisher medals and prizes for top finishers.

Now in its 10th year, the Testway Ultra continues to grow in popularity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
