The Peddars Way Ultra Marathon

Knettishall, United Kingdom • 1 Feb 2026

The Peddars Way Ultra Marathon is a 48-mile ultramarathon held in Suffolk and Norfolk, England. The route follows the historic Peddars Way, an ancient pre-Roman trading path and Roman road, starting at Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve and finishing at Holme-next-the-Sea on the Norfolk Coast. The course features a mix of footpaths, bridleways, rural lanes, and quiet country roads, mostly flat and well-marked with National Trail signage.

The event offers a generous 12-hour cutoff, making it accessible for beginner ultra runners. There are four checkpoints with food and drink, and GPS tracking allows supporters to follow runners. The race emphasizes environmental care by being cupless, requiring participants to carry reusable cups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
