THAMES TRAIL ULTRA
2024-10-19 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Hawkwell House Hotel Oxford By Accor, Church Way, Iffley, Village, Oxford OX4 4DZ, UK
A 47-MILE POINT-TO-POINT ALONG ENGLAND’S LONGEST RIVER

EVENT SUMMARY:

WHENSaturday 19th October 2024 Registration from 07:00. Start 08:15.

ENTRY FEE£67.00 (includes a tracker)

This demanding run along the Thames is one of the most popular events in the British ultra-running calendar.

Previously known as the Thames Trot, the event takes in 47 miles from Iffley in Oxfordshire to Henley-on-Thames.

Our runners will enjoy the company of England’s largest river as it makes its way past ever-changing scenery, beautiful houses and traditional rowing clubs. Expect everything from tarmac paths to muddy trails on this interesting and challenging course.

The run follows both the Thames Path and Ridgeway National Trails, so entrants should be careful not to forget the words ‘National Trail’ rather than simply reading Thames Path.

Starting around three miles south of Oxford, the race heads from Hawkwell House Hotel down to Iffley Lock and across the river. It then follows the towpath through the picturesque towns and villages of the region to Henley-on-Thames.

There will be a new race finish for 2024 at the YMCA Y Centre, in Lawson Road, Henley-on-Thames. This will mean runners will be able to access showers, hot food and drinks, and changing facilities at the end of the race – more details can be found here.

We are proud to say that this race is an Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc index race.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL 07989850170.

PRICE£78 (includes a tracker)

It’s true to say our always popular Country to Capital Ultra attracts a global field, with some of the best runners in Britain and beyond racing the 43-mile course.

This famous race is the curtain raiser for the ultra running season – and the starting point for those brave Go Beyond runners wishing to take on our Grand Slam of four ultra marathons over 180 gruelling miles.

Country to Capital takes you through the Buckinghamshire countryside, crossing the M25 – by bridge of course! – and heading towards the well-heeled surroundings of Denham. From there, runners pick up the Grand Union Canal towpath for the final run into London.

The finish is near the Little Venice canal basin, a surprising tranquil setting in the heart of the capital and close to both Paddington and Royal Oak Tube stations. The race concludes at The Stowe Centre, where you can enjoy showers, toilets and a large hall to relax in after finishing.

This is the start of our Grand Slam journey – anyone who wants a real challenge can click on the link on the right hand side of this page to book their place. Our Grand Slam includes not only Country to Capital but the Rose of the Shires, Shires & Spires, and Thames Trail Ultras. This is a truly incredible running opportunity, and you can take advantage of our offer to pay in three installments at no extra cost.

Country to Capital is historically a sell-out event, so be sure to get your entry in early. It is fully tracked and interactive, allowing your friends and family to follow your progress from the comfort of their armchairs. You can also make sure that you are following the route correctly!
