Gower Peninsula Ultra Challenge
The event takes place 17-18 July 2027 on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales with a basecamp in the grounds of Penrice Castle. Camping is available across the weekend.
Participants can walk, jog, or run across multiple distances:
- 100 km
- 75 km
- 50 km
- 25 km
- 10 mile
The full 100 km challenge follows a figure of eight route with west and east loops to explore beaches, limestone cliffs, moorland, ridges and woodlands. Solo Start, Ultra March, and Trailblazerz options are available alongside standard entries.
Route support includes covered rest stops approximately every 12.5 km with larger stops about every 25 km. Rest stops have marquees, medical and welfare tents, catering, seating and changing areas. The route is signed with pink arrows and GPS tracking. A timing system logs progress at rest stops and an event app provides maps and live tracking.
Food and drink are provided at regular intervals, with meals about every 25 km, snacks every 12.5 km, energy drinks, dietary options and a hot finishers meal. Medical provision includes doctors, paramedics, first aiders, podiatrists and massage teams, plus self help supplies and mobile emergency medical cover. Camping packages include a circa 50 km campsite for multi day options, with showers and chill out areas. Finishers receive a medal, finisher shirt, a glass of fizz and an official certificate.
