From the finish line you will make your own way back to the start on one of the regular trains from Portsmouth Harbour to Aldershot or Petersfield.
Those running 76km can leave a small bag of personal belongings with the team at the start. This bag will be available for runners at the lunch stop (Stop 3 at 42km) and will then be taken on to the finish in Portsmouth.
For those taking on the 36km run or walk, you can leave a bag with the team at the start which will be transported on to the finish. It will not be accessible during the event.
This epic ultramarathon takes you on a 76km route all the way from Aldershot to Portsmouth. Taking in a mix of trails and tarmac you'll take in the challenging South Downs overcoming 2000ft of elevation.
Participants taking part in the ultramarathon will start from Aldershot, the home of the British Army. From there, runners will head south through the stunning South Downs National Park, covering over 45km before reaching Petersfield. All participants head south towards the coast, emerging at Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy and will cross the finish line in the city’s historic dockyard beside the navy's flagship HMS Warrior.
Due to the nature of this event there will be cut off times throughout the course to ensure that all participants are safe at all times and can be reached by staff within a certain amount of time in case of an emergency.
Cut off times are based upon 6km/hr for runners and 4km per hr for walkers.
If you do not make it to a checkpoint by the required time then you need to be willing to be put into a support vehicle and taken further down the course to ensure you will finish the challenge within the required time. Cut–off times are in place to make sure that all participants are safe throughout the entire challenge and so must be taken seriously and adhered to.
You get a professionally managed, timed and supported event with fully qualified expedition doctor.
With 6 aid stations on the 76km and 3 on the 36km route you won't go hungry!
Everyone signing up for the event receives a fundraising guide, finishers pack including a Race to Remember t-shirt and a bespoke medal.

A massive thank you to all at Combat Stress. I came with 3 other - two who ran and two who walked. It was a first for most of us but massively rewarding. Zoe
An absolutely outstanding race. The organisation was second to non. The pit stops were fantastic! So enjoyable and an amazing day!! Danel
Everyone involved was simply amazing. Very well organised and everybody was so friendly. The rest stops were perfect and I love the salt & vinegar chip sticks! Marc, 2021
Really well organised, good route marking, and great team offering support before and throughout, perfect finish setting. Darren, 2021
It was one of the best and most rewarding things I have done.
Great event, support and participants made the day memorable.
Fabulous! My first ever long trail run, an amazing experience and looking forward to next year.
Friendly, fantastic, fun!
Great day, great support, great race.
Aching legs and a couple of blistered toes. But feeling really good, will definitely do it again next year. One of the best organised events I've been to.
What a fantastic day it was, feeling it in the legs today but such a well organised event!
Huge thanks to all the organisers and support team who were amazing
