Upton Ultra - Sat 10th July 2021

Malvern Hills - Worcestershire

We're excited to announce our first venture into ultra running - bringing all the elements that make our rides so popular - breathtaking routes, high quality feed stations and fantastic atmosphere - this is something we’ve been working on for the last 12 months and will take place on the same weekend as the Upton Triathlon and the new Mad Malvern Hare.
 

Upton Ultra is a new addition to the ultra running calendar and will be the first in a series of ultra running events from Madhare.

The route has now been finalised and will start and finish at Fish Meadow Farm, just over the bridge from the historic riverside town of Upton-On-Severn, Worcestershire, WR8 0PB. You can download the route here.

The ultra distance is 58k with the route travelling north out of Fish Meadow along the River Severn until it cuts south west to the Victorian Spa Town of Great Malvern, it then ascends onto the scenic Malvern Hills and along the ridge-line, giving spectacular views of the surrounding area and reaching the highest point of 425m at the Worcestershire Beacon. Participants will then descend onto Castlemorton and head east back onto the River Severn, then north along the river, completing the loop back to Fish Meadow.
 

The route is a mixture of established national trails, bridal ways, foot paths, river banks and connecting tarmac roads. Each stage offers a diverse range of environments, from open hills, grassy meadows, sprawling commons, wooded paths and expanses of flood plain.

Each leg will be clearly marked and there are three check points at 15km, 30km and 42k which will have a variety of food and drinks. 
 

The event is open to people of all levels from first-timers to pros, and there will be NO cut-off times, to make sure everyone who takes part has a chance to complete the route either running or walking. 

We look forward to welcoming you to our first ever ultra running event!
