Bath 50 Ultra Challenge
The Bath 50 Ultra Challenge takes place around the city of Bath with a basecamp at Bath Racecourse. Routes are looped and pass city landmarks such as the Royal Crescent and sections along the River Avon, plus surrounding countryside and panoramic views. The event offers multiple distance options from the same start and finish location.
- 50 km loop - approx 1,000 m elevation
- 29 km loop - approx 650 m elevation
- 10 km loop - approx 200 m elevation
Support is provided throughout the routes. Rest stops are at roughly every 12.5 km with major stops every 25 km; facilities at rest stops include marquee cover, food and drink, seating and changing areas. The 50 km course includes a picnic at 25 km and hot food at the finish. Medical teams, podiatrists and massage services are available at rest stops and a mobile emergency medical team operates via the event control room.
The route is fully signed with directional arrows and night glow-sticks, and the event uses GPS tracking via a participant app and a timing system that scans progress at rest stops. Entry categories include an Ultra March option for walkers aiming for time targets, an Ultra Trailblazerz option for ambitious runners, and a Solo Challenger start option. Event logistics note parking, shuttle transfers and camping options at basecamp. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
