The Ultra Loop - Rother Valley

The Ultra Loop : Rother Valley Country Park

The Ultra Loop is an inclusive, flexible 8-hour running event held at Rother Valley Country Park. Participants run repeated 5 km loops around the lakes and may cover as much distance as they can within the time limit. Any laps not finished by the cut-off are not included in the results. Every finisher receives a finishing time and a medal.

The route is a single 5 kilometre loop on mixed terrain. The course is not closed to the public, so walkers and dog walkers may be present. The start/finish line provides lap timing and acts as the central aid and spectator area. Results show the number of laps completed, total distance and elapsed time. The event maintains a results leaderboard and records while noting it does not present itself as a competitive race.

Practical information from the organiser includes an entry fee of £36 and a scheduled date of April 25th 2027. Entrants receive a confirmation email and an event guide before the day; race bibs are collected at registration on the day. Competitors under 12 are not permitted. Entrants aged 12 to 15 must have a parent or guardian contact the organiser and that adult must attend the event.

An aid station at the start/finish offers water, fruit, sweet and savoury snacks, energy bars and electrolytes from the event sponsor VOOM. A bag drop is available throughout the day, portaloos are provided, and participants are asked to bring their own bottles as cups will not be supplied.
