50 Mile Ultra and Marathon distance races through the quiet rural landscapes and ancient woodlands of Bucks, Beds and Northants along the Three Shires Way.
Whether you’re stepping up in distance or looking for a decent challenge through wonderful countryside, both races are suitable for beginners and seasoned runners alike.
Being a bridleway the routes are well way marked, so navigation is made fairly easy (and we’ll mark any sections where you may need some help!).
The race cut-off times are 14 hours for the 50 miler and 8 hours for the Marathon, and there will be progressive cut-off times in place at various checkpoints based on the race cut-off times.
Linking with the Swan’s Way at the start, the 49 mile Three Shires Way takes in the county boundaries of Bucks, Beds and Northants at Threeshire Wood, with a 12.4 mile loop around Grafham Water to finish. We’ve added a section to the village hall at Hanslope to get to the magic 50, and created a marathon route that starts at Yelden.
