The Cirencester basecamp marks the start of the 100km looped route through the heart of the Cotswolds, providing a stunning setting for 2,000 adventurers to test themselves.
Rolling hills, villages, the Cotswold Way, footpaths and trails, with some fabulous views en route. You’ll get full support and hospitality, including optional ‘university style’ accommodation at basecamp, and with three-quarter, half, quarter and a Cirencester 10km distance option also - there’s a Cotswold’s Challenge for everyone.
This challenge is part of the UK's number one series of trek and trails runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels.
Choose your challenge and do it at your pace. The level of support enables you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors, camaraderie, and the challenge. There are marquee rest stops, lots of food and drink, medical and massage teams, with a fully signed route to guide you.
A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, up for more of life’s real challenges – and, maybe, personal horizons redefined.
This event is part of Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge.
Whether you’re a walker and new to challenge events, an experienced trekker, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance, or a seasoned ultra runner after UTMB points – there’s an Ultra Challenge® for you! Walk, Jog, or Run at your pace, as an Individual or a Team, for a charity of your choice or just for you. There’s an Ultra March® option for ‘fast walkers’ – and a new ‘Solo Challenger’ start time to join up with others.
This Ultra Challenge® famously lays on the best support and hospitality available on any UK endurance-style event. This enables you to step up and confidently tackle an 'Ultra' distance, with the best chance of success - and to enjoy your challenge! Here's a summary:

Cirencester - Friday and Saturday:
A perfect choice if you’ve done a Half Challenge before and want to ‘up’ the distance without committing to a ‘Full’ option. The route is 3/4 of the Full Challenge – so it starts at Painswick, takes in the fantastic 2nd 1/4 Challenge route to Wotton, and then on through the Cotswolds to the finish line at Cirencester basecamp (the 2nd 1/2 of the Full Challenge) after a tough 76km. Do it as a ‘Continuous’ challenge or rest overnight after the 1st 33km and then camp at the Wotton basecamp (or hotel/B&B) and do the remaining 47km (2nd half) on Sunday morning.
