Race Information

The event has four checkpoint stations along the route. Competitors can request vegan or gluten-free food at checkpoints during registration. All events are cup-free, so runners must bring their own reusable cup.

All finishers receive a bespoke Severn Way Ultra medal and an MTC head visor. The first male and female finishers each receive a bespoke Severn Way Ultra trophy.
